Agnes Krampe Poet Free verse

The Bluebells

We wandered
into the realm of the bluebells
that dwell in the flood plain
after the spring rains.

Carefully 
we stepped 
through the blue kingdom
along the streams.

We could not hear
the tiny bells, 
ringing with mirth.

But we saw
the great heron lift off
toward the river,
his silent blue winged shadow
gliding over the flowers.

Anne-Marie Coreggia April 7, 2017 at 11:01 AM This is so graceful and delicate; I agree with Lisa, it should be read out loud because it lifts the soul and you feel carried away on the heron's wings, floating over a sea of bluebells :) A 7 Amitiés Agnes Krampe April 7, 2017 at 1:24 PM Thank you for your visit and your kind comments, Anne-Marie.
