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 Written 6-1-2020

Hello Jeanne McGee, these are both beautiful flowers. They look beautiful together side by side. Enjoy your day my friend.

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..

Maybe that's why I don't see much of it...but the lavender fields look heavenly against the yellow. Thanks for your comments.
