Image result for pictures of pomegranate plants

Outside the city where lush
Lovely pomegranates grow
The spring has sprung and flowers show
Birds rear their young in tones hushed

The lady weeps in a silent
Strain, love has left a broken heart
In pain, where the pomegranates start
To bloom once again, so vibrant

Hush my love your chance to shine bright
Slipped in on a cloud silver lined
A knight so good and deeply kind
Caught your tears throughout the long night  

He sprinkles them upon the air
Pomegranate bushes sprang up
Their juice forever fill your cup
Arise love, his maiden fair

Receive his love, freed from despair
Outside the city, in rural
Terrain. a perfect scene ~mural
Where pomegranates grow with flair

Inspired by Julia Ward contest A First Line Prompt
Written: May 01, 2016

First stanza of 

"I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud"

Written by: William Wordsworth
Which is called Lyric Poetry 

"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils; 
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."

I like your pomegranate poem. My late father loved Wordsworth - he also set Tennyson - and yes some of my poems to music. There is a short Israeli poetry movie you might want to check out - it is by an Israeli poetess - she made a short film which you can see on the internet - you would probably like it.

Beautiful Longfellow is also one of my fave poets. Very well done and a fine place to look for inspiration.
