Premium Member Summer Rain In the Sun

It's really such a lovely time to be
life feels so good full of flavour
that dampness in midst so bright
nature living out it's true behaviour

The sun glistens through the trees
colours so varied looks real cool
clouds bursting in their fullness
sparkling fully like a diamond jewel

Raindrops come bursting over and down
sprinkling from the clouds above
so refreshing cools the warm air
rain and sun like true lovers in love

So contrasting  are these lovely pair
full of life so evident for all to see
splashing it's rays all about our world
what splendour behind that green tree

These summer months are so rare
so make most of this delightful pair

Premium Member Spring's First Touch With Joanna Daniel

When Spring’s first touch is gently set
with Winter now scarcely a threat,
implore the ocean breezes spray
all cares and troubles far away.

With sweet caress of warmer days
and softness in the sunny haze,
carry me to pastoral thoughts
of my favorite nature spots.

Where flowers kiss the breeze that blows
and young ones run, too spry to pose, 
transport me to refreshing moods, 
where nature's calm, no one intrudes. 

Such peace brushes my soul out here! 
I lie still as Tender Hands steer
my notions to emotions pleased
and comfort me, turmoils are eased.

Premium Member This Moment Forever

THIS MOMENT FOREVER
BY Gayle Vanasse 6/5/2022
Have you ever found that special moment where everything just feels right?  Everything feels good! That moment that makes you feel like you just wish to be in this place forever, just feel like this forever.
Today, this morning I feel it. I feel it so clear, clean, beautiful. I just want this moment, these moments….. to last forever.
The cleanness of my body, my breath. The smells of the clean morning air, the sounds of the natural life, the sights of the beautiful surroundings.  It’s so now, new, clean, refreshing, RAW. I feel it all enter my body through my nose, through my eyes, through my ears.
The soft breeze of a new day. The sun awaking from its long night. The birds singing glory to the new day.  The soft musical notes that give life to this earth fills my heart and soul with the wonderous love, gratitude, and honor to be alive.
Oh how can I make this feeling stay in my heart forever? Not just in this present moment, these moments? Knowing soon something will interrupt this beautiful feeling I am experiencing. I wish everyone could take a moment to feel this peace of love and contentment. This feeling of joy and freedom. To be able to release any pain and anger from their lives and just feel the amazing goodness the world has to offer. To breath it all in, let yourselves explore the true feeling of happiness, love, and the joy of being truly alive. 
If only these moments could last oh so much longer

Premium Member Gigantic Golden Sunflower

I sprouted from a small seed planted firmly in the ground
With refreshing drinks of water my size it can confound!

My long legs must be supported, or I could stoop and bend
I love being out of doors where the sun is my best friend!

I’m a great sun worshipper and my face follows the sun
I tower over small plants, being tall is so much fun 

On sunny days I tan my face; my seeds turn golden brown
Small children look up at me, hoping that my seeds drop down!

I’ve been told that I’m the tallest bloom in the flower bed
Some think I’m conceited, I’ve got such a giant head

Birds attack my face when they peck my tasty stripy seeds
It doesn't bother me at all, I’ll cater for their needs!

Songs of Our Land

We sing songs of sorrow,  
We sing songs for tomorrow,  
Songs that speak of our suffering,  
Songs that may become an offering.  

Songs sung in the daylight,  
Songs sung in the twilight,  
We long for our land to bloom,  
We await the dispelling of its gloom.  

Songs of our land for a new day,  
Songs that seek a radiant way.  
A sage said that a time of refreshing will come if our deeds no longer hide in the shadows,  
And if they do not cast a pall over the meadows.  

Songs sung by our mothers,  
Songs that weigh heavily on our fathers,  
Songs that we also sing,  
Songs that echo and ring.

  S.A.F.P

There are great poets here who
get ignored or have few replies.

Why not mention their name at
the end of your poem?

It gives them pride and way to rise!

A new poet, or a poet ignored, is so 
refreshing and their work?
A wonderment and sweet  surprise.

Too many greats here are ignored.

Whillst some just race to be top of 
any list.

A salty tear just fell on my pen and
my poetic, sad, wrist.

comment?
He's soooo worth it!!!!

Premium Member Rebirth

winter has sighed its last.
everything old is new
as heaven cries with joy.
bird in the trees all sing
and butterfiles are out
floating about carefree.

it's time to rejoice!
as spring has arrived;
earth is young again.
roses will bloom, thanks...
to april showers.

hello, green leaves;
refreshing whiff
of petrichor
hip! hip! hurray!

season of
rebirth is
upon us.

a feast
for the...

eyes.

Memories

Memories happy  odd and sad ,
Are the roots of the tree of life ;
One walks in fancy robes clad ,
The other teases the suffered strife .

The pleasing  one is comely and soft
While the irate other is full of pain ;
Recurring wild, broken images fly aloft
And re-form the rather missing chain .

The knotty, prickly vicissitudes burn
Or sting like flames or a venomous tail;
Time  offers the apt panacea to turn
The gloom and  ailment into  hope, pale

Sweet and gainful  events do stay
Within ,somewhere, refreshing forever ;
While the bruises and deep hurts may
Distress,and, the soul's resources, sever

The treasured pleasant picks of the past
Are soft  and soothe the virtual sorrow ;
While the fall and ravages  endured all at last ,
Harden and strengthen the stand for morrow.

Lovelorn

Could it be the state of tranquility 
Despite the times they are being loquacious
Or this event of serendipity
For meeting this person quite so gracious

Is it his presence is a sweet lagniappe
Or their bond that caused an epiphany
The fact his absence feels like a cold snap
That her feelings are a polyphony

It’s personality in plethora
Which is refreshing just like petrichor
That sets off in her mind an aurora 
Depicting sensations of her ardour 

It’s that he treats her with delicacy
That sets off these great feelings blossoming
She puts words to them with hesitancy
For her fear of the others gossiping 

She hides in a place abyssopelagic
To veil that he is her panacea
As if emotions will leave like magic
Is that not just the dumbest idea

Who’s she kidding they are diaphanous
A statement that she says with some languor 
Practicing a great deal of ascesis 
When really they should be allowed to soar

But he gives a place of felicity
A place some might say is just limerence
A thing that is quite the duplicity
She knows that she can see the difference

Her affection can appear galactic
But to her it is just a silhouette 
Perhaps giving her an ataractic 
Will dim her down and she’ll cause less upset

To him she is just incendiary 
An explosive she is the quintessence
A fact becoming evidentiary 
In it exhibiting its fluorescence

She wished for a soothing elixir
They sent her a voice so mellifluous
However it’s not his job to fix her 
Whilst she is in this state of pensiveness

And now she senses a quadrivium 
There is an insight into her psyche
She is praying for her elysium
For her own life to end in syzygy

A Few of My Favorite Things

Steady rain vibrating a tin roof
Refreshing breeze from a screen door
Untouched linen on a strange bed
A few luxuries, I adore

Roaring thunder rocks me to sleep
Birds in song for when I wake
Cat naps on the couch in between
Happiness, I can't mistake

Cappuccino and knit throw 
Sipping wine as the sun retires
The aroma of steak on the grill
Chatting for hours beside the fire

Up before dawn, packed for a trip
Surviving on adrenaline, alone
Witnessing something for the first time
Learning something, I hadn't known 

Anticipating the first kiss
Butterflies, a package deal
Old dirt roads on the side by side
Just me, behind the wheel

Taking a stroll in solitude
Not a soul to entertain
A question with a difficult answer
Finally explained

The completion of a daunting task
Receiving thanks and praise
Laughing too hard to catch my breath
Precious moments to fill my days
