Carole Cookie Arnold Poet Rhyme

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
 
 
Carole Cookie Arnold

Kim Merryman March 17, 2012 at 10:02 AM I like the imagery in this poem, Carole. I love the last stanza and the very last line "This day is a...Lady" is excellent. Great job. My husband is crazy about Wisteria and I like it too. Love, Kim
