Third One of Many

Over where the Delphiniums bloom Cornflower Blue
The Zephyr blows on quiet morns
Then the excited voices come to play
And screams resound in heat of day

Where splashes and laughter 
Are common things
Stress disappears 
Joy relaxation brings

Children smile with dimples
As water drips from hair
Drenched like salamanders
Once again where Delphiniums live

(Jotted on any available paper)

So sweet, Sara...Drenched like salamanders".:) A wonderfully bright and colourful write! This builds a beautiful scene, Sara. Now I'll have to look up "Delphiniums" and "Zephers" online! They are magnificient, but not as precious as the children! Best to you, Mikki

Sara I knew what you were saying in your footnotes. But at first I was thinking this set of poems was from that author you quoted as well. Your poems are THAT good. I thought you were showing that author's own poetry. YOu really did well with these little poems and great imagery! a highest rating for them.

I absolutely love the second stanza Sara! Jotted on any available paper? That is the absolute trait of a natural poet... always ready to release the the thoughts as they come... and liberate them in characters on papers... for them to be eventually graduated to the medium through which they will beautifully paint many minds... Sara, i feel so encouraged by that fact... CHEERS Soupmate! >Wish you a lively and inspirational week ahead!
