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? Sunshine Williams

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
