Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Sonnet

Upon the Fireplace Mantle

Upon the fireplace mantle
A metal high container
Filled with white flowers
Two birthday cards lean
In the middle stands 
The large family painting
A waterwheel house
On a farmer's field
Beside this painting
Two photo's found
Followed by a glass
Candle light
In front of that
Stands a small angel
Watching, keeping,guard
On top of the mantle

Leanne Lovejoy-Burton April 24, 2019 at 5:57 AM Very beautiful, like walking into a painting that tells a story, leaving one to stand there and turn around to view the detail of the person telling the story and the detail of what led the storyteller there...I love this very much. Beautiful and magic. x Darlene De Beaulieu April 24, 2019 at 8:10 AM Hello Leanne Love-joy Burton, Thank you for the lovely comment. As I wrote this poem, I felt I was there.
