Poppies

Poppies

Go ahead; grab a gander at our grandeur
Our smooth, sweet, smelling, smorgasbord
Of colorful carpet comprised of countless creations 
Of nature’s naturally nurtured niceties’

Skip, jump, tumble, roll, wrestle
You are welcome…rest your bodies 
In the cool heat of the spring sunlight of our sustenance

Its rays radiate radicals necessary for us flowers
To freely, flourish, fruitfully…
Photosynthesis

See our gentle stamens extend themselves 
Inviting and enjoying the buzzing of bees company
We are alive in our soil, our intricate roots feast on rich minerals

Oh, wondrous nature creates our effects of beauty, comfort, and seducing sedation, just for you to take a rest. 

If you enjoy us often, you may have the good fortune of awakening amidst a sun shower, the final ingredients of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen which nature gives us to ensure our multitudes multiply for your pleasure.  Hey, did you catch that double rainbow?

Thank you Vera. It was so nice to hear a poem from Peter's muse...I love nature as well, many times I delve into it to keep myself grounded. Perhaps one day I will find what you and your delightful husband share once more....all the love, jill
