imbues violet hyacinth petals,
yielding their marrow's oils -
pats of pigment, hint of black,
tincture begging to be lifted
by an artist's new soft brush
to paint on canvas,
exuding potent perfume
by an artist's new soft brush
to paint on canvas,
exuding potent perfume
... pink-veined white Rhodies
slumber,
awaiting fog's parting by
noonday rays of light,
brighter today than yesterday -
we breathe in earth's raw aromas,
rake soil's dark history,
rake soil's dark history,
expressing
air in, out again
... cherry trees hail pink snow,
dogwood trees just know
the miracle of life,
intimated season after season -
taking me back to
air in, out again
... cherry trees hail pink snow,
dogwood trees just know
the miracle of life,
intimated season after season -
taking me back to
renaissance pastoral scenes
gleaned from volcanic born
cadmium yellow, lapis blue,
crimson,
illuminated by
a Vermeer-like glaze
Spring unveils
aesthetically -
seeds cast on breezes,
carried high where
swallows wing;
paths of fallen birch twigs,
wet leaves,
tones of nature's achromatic blend;
Streams flow outwardly
singing their premiere,
nurturing future ivory, red, pink
boutonnieres

I'd love to know what garden or park you drew your inspiration from for this melange of colour for all the senses.

ReplyDeleteLovely indeed!

ReplyDeleteKaty, I do wish I could read your poems. The font is small and the same color as the background. I just can't struggle that much to try to read, I must be honest. Please BOLD and enlarge the font or change the background...or something. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI've tried to correct this but have had no luck..will have to change the entire blog template probably..don't know why when I chose a different size font or bold type blogger doesn't change it???
DeleteQuite beautiful -- both your subject matter and the poems you have made of it.
ReplyDeleteLoved the colourful splash on the poetic canvass!
ReplyDeleteThis was a lovely bouquet of spring flowers and colors ~ If you can paint them, it would be a lovely canvas ~
ReplyDeleteYou have the change the template if you like to make the background plain, and/or the font bolder ~
Have a lovely day ~
