Notes About The Poem

The Cottage In the Blooms

The cottage near the wood is crowded in blooms,
Its creamy facade is enlivened with many hues;
And large vases of flowers grace several rooms.

Joy throughout the days with the delicate fumes,
and legendary exotic, natural splendor issues.
The cottage near the wood is crowded in blooms.

Redbirds sing gold sunshine, or of pearly moons,
Nature creates beautiful at the merest excuse,
And large vases of flowers grace several rooms.

Summer appears early, in all the mellow Junes.
Blue and mauve butterflies flit floral avenues.
The cottage near the wood is crowded in blooms.

In such lively colors, encroaching beauty looms,
Green scenes in each window, sunshine suffused,
And large vases of flowers grace several rooms.

All the endless days bold tangerine sun looms,
and rabbits and the bees gather woodland news.
The cottage near the wood is crowded in blooms;
And large vases of flowers grace several rooms

WoW! Evelyn, You always paint such gorgeous pictures with words. I said it before; you are like a painter of words. You create good imagery that leaps off the page. I am a fan and viewing you is always a good experience. Excellent job:-) Alexis

I am sure God created you, Eve, as his messager to remind us all of the things He created, nothing misses your eye, then to protray all of this within your poems to open our eyes to what we would otherwise miss, your vividness of colours, scents, sounds and feelings are all conveyed to the reader, now you blow us all away with such a beautiful written Villanelle, God; I feel, chose you well, Eve, blessings my friend . . . : )

You are always impacting me, Victor. After I read your villanelle, recently, I wanted to try writing one myself. This is my first villanelle. Thank you very much for the kind compliments. Blessings and hugs. :)

to be surrounded with such a scene is beautiful, to convey it to the reader, where one is taken there, is magical.
