cold whispers winter
winds howls like a thirsty cries
dirty dead gray skies

The marshy lands,the meadows green,
The miraculous creations are yet to be seen.
The nature's beauty spread around,
The swaying flowers,the chirpy sound.
The mountain peaks ,reaching the sky,
The wonderful creatures, fly free so high.

Always hop on a chance to jet-set,
travel as far and as often as you can.
I never want to have postcard regret.
Stay mindful you don't need a plan,
This is not always the easiest task.
Spontaneous adventures? I'm a fan.
Wearing a sunscreen lotion's mask
I'm ready to indulge in far off lands.
Under foreign sunshine I long to bask.
Let the memories tattoo your hands
making art out of picturesque sands.
I'm waking up and rubbing two blinded eyes,
The crispness of the sweet-scented air in whimpering July
Rapidly spreads by a benevolent wind that pleases,
It allows me to discover by intent a sublime reality,
Which is the morning's picturesque beauty:
Does strong belief interfere with a sense of great friability?
Nature can be brutal or pleasant, and yet it can fascinate
Us, when it suddenly embraces each sense to compensate
For the discontent left by a dreamless and unrestful night;
What we hear amid those eerie shadows is the cry of a cricket!
I distinctly revoke such repulsing and unenthralling nights
As I wash their macabre images off with cold, running water;
Is a better day coming, prompting actions that don't falter?
Harm is done when pain is accepted and tomorrow frightens.
In this morning's picturesque beauty, I could lose myself
And wish that dreaming vainly detaches me from grief,
not seeing any delusional mirage on the journey to happiness;
I've expelled the vile demons that made me spew lies!
There's a nice view
Behind the cove
Print pretty girl.
Which is more nice
Stunning view
Or pretty face.
Between blue sea
And the nice cove
Swam curve body.
Picture taken
Pin-up model
Behind a scene.
Let's talk about the picturesque beauty of autumn
Of the chiming bells of the Angelus
Of the flowers once pretty and strong, on the lawn
Oh! Autumn, you are a very superb season!
Let's talk about the petals and sepals fallen from the sky
Where the trees are stunned and almost undressed
And the astonished birds which have fallen from the clouds
Oh! Autumn, I love your wondrous and natural smile.
The season of autumn has a sensational scene
A warm and comfortable freshness and a solemn tone
It is the gold of the evening that falls all day long.
It’s the multi-colored leaves and flowers on the vents
Oh! Autumn, you give us much to imagine
And show us how to mimic mystic and golden moments.

Late night sleuth beings
tantamount palate lovers
we collide on canvas
Nocturnal clear skies secluded
Antique rose blizzards included
Winters Emerald black canvas alluded
That's all life's pyramids uprooted

Blossoming buds buttress beauty
as scarlet shades share, ruby reds
and assorted alabaster.
Pastel pink petals, chic colors,
and sun-splashed, glistening green leaves
enhances each sweet-scented step;
through this prim picturesque pathway.
O! Summer Love there you stand at the lake
Aqua waters flow between your feet
All such gentle movements you make
As a gazelle a deer
Dancing ever still
So amazingly Shadow so sweet
Upon the dawn sparkle greets
Standing soul so aware
Grains of sand in your hair
Young bronze Summer Love
Come here closer to me my love
Fondly my picturesque silhouette Summer Love

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2021
Radiant dawn verily blessed by God
reflect His artistic wonders, beautifying mornings
assuring days --- triumphantly jubilant.
Through virtual exposure
I behold glorious twilight commencement
marked with crimson tints along scarlet red clouds…
Iridescence of tangerine blaze
subdues aquamarine firmament midst
saffron hues highlighting summer dawn brilliance…
Awed am with the elegance of coral pink
intensifying watermelon luster on charcoal gray sky
featuring the skyline of a free country…
For splendor of nautical dawn
gleaming gold reigns as lemon yellow peeks
blended with chartreuse rays…
Indeed, my heart praises the Creator while His majesty shines
accentuating afterglow of lilac midst prevailing maroon
and lingering gentleness of lavender.
*Psalm 130:6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

I smell the lushness; I smell green,
and what I see around me is a scene
where I’d expect to hear seclusion’s hush.
Instead, I hear the sound of water’s rush.
Sweet water’s rush, like nature’s symphony
is endlessly cascading lusciously!
So fresh I want to taste it on my tongue -
this endless stream of dewy diamonds flung
to rocks below, creating a white mist.
How many eons have these rocks been kissed
by virgin droplets of this waterfall?
I breathe serenity, soothed by it all.
Sept. 14, 2019 for Eve Roper's Picturesque Poetry Contest
Picturesque is so quaint
Seeing the brightly white pearls drenched
Flowing down Misty Mystic waterfall
So the soothing switching Cooling sounds
Beads of mists goes round rushing down
Flowing, going gushing mystic misty surrounded by marsh Foliage green malls
Hear rushing
Feel the gushing
Misty mystic falling
Flowing downward spiral never stalling
Waterfall wild waters calling
O the bottoms rush
Shhhhhwwwwwwwesh
Swessssssssssssss
Bubbling rush
