Poetry In Motion

Beneath a  blue  canopy  where apple and cherry blossoms  float and pirouette... silhouettes in the light of day...ballerinas wearing tutus  of fluttering Willow, Russian Olive, Crimson King and Maple leaves...bend and sway their supple limbs to a symphony played and sung by  wind chimes, Cardinals, Red Wings, and Gold and Purple Finches...on Mother Nature's stage in my backyard.

Wondrous and colorful scene written by an immensely talented top poet! Our backyard here has a great many birds as its is surrounded by untouched forested property. Your brilliant nature poem is truly inspiring my friend! A fine fav to add to my growing list.

If ever we feel bored, all we need do is take a walk in our own backyards and marvel at nature's beauty. Stunning work! You have a way of appreciating what some do not even notice. Hugs, Carolyn
