With Life In Tune

I sit with trees around me, green. The ocean’s in the distance, teal. A ladybug I’d first not seen is climbing down to my left heel! From somewhere in the azure sky comes gliding down a dragonfly! To me she is a fairy queen. My pleasure I cannot conceal in viewing wings of bright blue sheen. Birds sing, and I can’t help but feel with life in tune this afternoon.

Congratulations Andrea for this marvelous poem of yours. Read a marvelous book recently called Columbia, thought of you because you teach Spanish. It is about a Cuban family that runs the oldest restaurant in Tampa called the Columbia. Famous athletes attended, President John F Kennedy, Carol Burnett, many, many famous people and the book is about the restaurant and the wonderful people that ran it. It brought much joy to read. I read it in two days couldnt put it down. God bless you...

Congratulations Andrea on the POTD! I love ladybugs, they are used in the veg. gardens, instead of pesticides. What do you call a ladybug male?

We need these lovely, selfless moments. There are things far more beautiful and meaningful, that cannot be personified dearly without the poet's eyes and heart. Please don't correct me with, "Poetess" OK, yes--Poetess!:) Have a great day my friend.
