Wisteria's Poise
Wisteria's Poise
Wisteria vines playfully
Climb the fence
Peacefully entwined midst
The ivy so rich
Tulips open with
Morning light
Regal and colorful
Waxy petals take flight
As they drink in the
Misty dawn’s warm day
Toward night they close
Until morn is on its way
The old oak still
Holds my swing
His arm has grown
Over the years time brings
His trunk is seventeen
Feet around
With roots that the
House now sits upon
I am embraced by the
Majesty of the day
In its purity of newness
And its breeze born sway
This day reminds me of a
Southern belle with all her ruffles
Wisteria buds are the ribbons in her hair
Poise is her beauty mark of grace
This day is a… Lady
