The Beauty In These Words

The beauty in these words Rainbows o’er the valley, vibrant colors on the hill Coconut and apple pies now cooling on the sill A warm day in November as if fall has turned to spring Hummingbirds and butterflies and cardinals on the wing A picnic in the meadow out beneath an old oak tree Picking out the different shapes in all the clouds we see A garden filled with flowers blooming every shape and size A cool breeze ever flowing neath the bluest azure skies A pathway through a forest that the two of us explore The rhythm of the ocean waves a’ crashing on the shore A choir singing on the square as snow falls from the sky The sound of ringing sleigh bells as it slowly passes by A chocolate covered sundae with sweet cherries on the top The windmill spinning on the farm that never seems to stop Every single star we see a’ twinkling on the night An April morning sunrise oh so wonderful and bright A Sunday morning journey through a park that we will walk Some quiet conversations as we find some time to talk A cozy roaring fire on the coldest winter day A sailboat on the ocean that shall take our hearts away The beauty in these words I write are just my point of view Of all the wondrous things I dream each time I dream of you Everything that’s perfect and of all that it can be These and so much more are what your love it brings to me Good night Soupers

Chris Chris Chris. Morning. I've said it before but I'll say it again. I am out of words and adjectives to explain what I read and see. Beauty (check) Rhyme (check) Poeticness (check) Imagery (check) So you see all your poetic checks are present and accounted for. You have such a way to express and execute your words and phrases. It is evident here in this entry alone. You may have said Good Night Soupers but I say Good Morning Poet. Well done in its entirety. I don't know how long it takes you to complete and entry however look at the end result......
