Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Quatrains For Cupani

One day out in the country I was led
by an old pathway to a hidden place
with honeyed scent from a wild garden bed
where ruffled blooms reached toward the sky with grace.

My spirit lifted too from sheer delight.
Dew glistened on each sweet pea’s pretty head.
How beautiful that scene in sun so bright -
green grass and blossoms in purple and red!

Timothy Hicks May 31, 2016 at 11:40 AM Beautiful imagery for the contest, Andrea ... I love to find those hidden spots. Do sweet peas really have flowers growing on them like that? I love peas, but I've never grown them, so I don't know.

Karam Misra May 29, 2016 at 3:52 AM Loved it. Cupani - had to look it up. Thanks for writing great stuff. ~karam~

David Brooks May 28, 2016 at 10:54 PM Very nice. You took ME there.

CayCay Godwin May 28, 2016 at 9:35 PM Well done, very lovely. I am ignorant about the word, Cupani - looked it up, but found nothing. Is it the latin word for sweet peas? Again, very pretty scenery painted by your brush! CayCay Andrea Dietrich May 29, 2016 at 4:44 PM yes, you got it!! I find it very quickly at Google when I type in Cupani! It was first discovered and named this around the 1600's, the purple reddish type!

Tim Smith May 28, 2016 at 6:54 PM Sounds like an enchanting place Andrea

Connie Marcum Wong May 28, 2016 at 4:50 PM Very pretty Andrea! ; )

Paul Schneiter May 28, 2016 at 4:46 PM Andrea, Thanks for taking me to that wild garden bed. Thanks for the fragrance, and the colors, and the glistening dew, and the ruffled blooms. Thanks for giving me the gift of nature's sweet embrace. It edifies me, and I am grateful. hugs x x x

Edlynn Nau May 28, 2016 at 3:23 PM Love it. Sweet Peas are my favorite flower in all the world! I also wrote a poem about them called, "Party Vine." I love being back in NorCal but miss the wild and easy to grow Sweet Peas of WA State, and British Columbia. I love that these were purple & red. Bet it knocked your eye out!

Barry Stebbings May 28, 2016 at 2:41 PM Lovely, Andrea. I love sweet peas, I have a mass in my front garden.
