Notes About The Poem

     

  The painting is called "Tea Party" 

By: Eve Roper  2014 

My dauther in-law  modeled for the painting. 

Tea Party

Tea Party

Bright early morning
Courtyard opens to the clear blue unclouded sky
Mourning dove with their cheerful cooing
Lush, crisp, green, grassy, lawn,
Garden flourishes with yellow daffodils, pink lilies, and budding pink roses
Latticework lavish entanglement of sweet fragrant jasmine

My angelic little girl sits on the settee in the pavilion
full of pillows and a blue blanket in case it gets cold
wearing my long string pearls with her ruffle white lace dress

Mama, papa, and baby teddy bears, sit all around her

A tea party she entertains serving tea, cake, and cookies
Everyone invited

With tenderness, giving a drink of tea to her favorite teddy May

I observe my little girl sitting on the settee in the pavilion

A  beholding sight

Maurice Rigoler February 6, 2015 at 8:45 PM Eva, your words match the lush image of the little girl at tea! Quite delicious! Yes, as we grow older, our thoughts often turn to former days, the things we did or should not have done. I wrote this poem some years ago after I had walked the beach not far from where I lived. This poem was the result. Thank you for the stop. / M Eve Roper February 6, 2015 at 10:25 PM I am tickled you liked my poem.I often take that same walk. Blessings Eve

Connie Marcum Wong February 5, 2015 at 12:18 AM This is so sweet Eve. When a child is without siblings they can be very creative with their imaginations. I was secretly viewing my little granddaughter, Carissa today while I was watching her while my daughter was at work. She was holding up her little hand size Cinderella and Rapunzel dolls close to the stickers of their images on our sliding glass door, saying, 'how do you like the way you look'? I began laughing and she kept on playing. These kind of memories last forever.This poem's great! Eve Roper February 5, 2015 at 9:16 AM Thank you,Connie, for your compliment. The memories that were made with my grandmother are the ones I remember, always loving on me. Children always remember the good times, they learn from experience: from what happens around them, from what they see, hear, smell, taste and touch. Blessings dear friend Eve

Tim Smith February 4, 2015 at 11:50 PM Love it Eve...last Sunday I played chutes and ladders with my girls (5 and 15) ...

Eve Roper February 4, 2015 at 10:45 PM Children are a sight to behold when their imagination gets involved in play, a good social learning skill. Blessings Eve
