Jeanne Mcgee Poet Dizain

Yarrow and Lavender

Yarrow spun like golden threads stitched upon the field
      A patchwork of lavender highlights, tender they sway
          Above exploits of brilliant lime stems they pledge to shield

          The wind ruffles natures bedspread of a delicate crochet
       Blossoms sashay along rows in a flower show runway
    My eyes feast, entranced, at the brilliance of the palette
 To uncover a Monet in a brushed purple and yellow duet

Perfume tantalizes the air into a hushed spray of reverence
    With bees humming through a chorus in a magical vignette
        I sit in awe as I feel the earth touch the sky in effervescence

Aditi Mishra June 2, 2020 at 12:27 AM Loved the journey through the lavender fields..the soothing wind blowing my hair making me feel alive. I could envision your world. God bless you Jeanne :) Jeanne Mcgee June 3, 2020 at 4:16 PM Hello Aditi, thank you for your comments. I can see you hair flowing down the rows. :D

Darlene De Beaulieu June 1, 2020 at 2:32 PM Hello Jeanne McGee, these are both beautiful flowers. They look beautiful together side by side. Enjoy your day my friend.

Silent One June 1, 2020 at 2:00 PM I am not a fan of yarrow, it spreads so fast, i had to remove so many from my garden... your poem is lovely and full of great imagery.. Jeanne Mcgee June 1, 2020 at 2:19 PM Maybe that's why I don't see much of it...but the lavender fields look heavenly against the yellow. Thanks for your comments.
