Ryegrass Poems | Examples

Rain follows the fading winter's breath

In the tangled field,
where bristly ryegrass sways

Emerging green, the blades do rise
glimmer in the verdant hue of shamrock

like the lively notes of the cuckoo's call
Whispers dance upon the undulating meadows

The fragrance of the soil—
its charm, a whisper of rain-kissed ground

Silver whispers of yearning
Softly sung, a memory lingers still.

Mint leaf season vortex gilds sylvan glaze
vivid hue a scented purple ground mist
citrus brume float locus in dewdrop phase
cherry orchard fruit shoots hearthrob wish list

Gold grosbeak pecking ryegrass fare at dawn 
scarlet tanager an oak tree crown rite
wet mallard feet drag bird seed round my lawn
flush choral plume behind the hedgerow sprite 

Triumphant March of mother earth womb pearls 
airy  infant whines elate our senses
green sea tides that flurry sunlit moss curls  
hub of nodding reeds a ripe consensus 

Zeal infuses luscious pastures growing 
spring fount heralds jubilance a-glowing

This poem is a sonnet.

I am a certian type of variety..
Steadfast conceptualized impiety..
Aware of nonchalantly..
Best not to a malady.
Shallow is the roots of ryegrass. 
Slow is the fermented yeast mash.
