Painted

Pastel droplets fall from
Pink sprinkled sunlight on
Ponds and meadows blooming
Pathways of color as
Pearly breasted bluebirds
Perch where past springtimes have
Painted my heart with hope

Beautiful! "pearly breasted bluebirds Perch where past springtimes have painted my heart with hope." wonderful! I just re-read your "April Snow" poem. It's so sadly true. Nature is saying farewell. Congratulations on your win!

Oh, this is just so dreamy and beautiful, Michelle. I adore every verse of exquisite imagery as each line unfolds and evolves into the next to come together in vivid life upon the page and within my imagination. Moments in a sacred place captured with your golden pen. "Painted" is a perfect title for this sensual feast for the senses anchored by a sense of belonging and appreciation. Great last line too! :) A winner of course! Warmest wishes, my inspiring friend.. ~Susan
