Doused within a chartreuse morn,
Orioles dance amongst sodden pink clouds,
limbs dip towards inch worm green blades,
Black mantle, orange breast suckling sweet nectar,
cascade of pink petals meandering in ethereal rain.
Bird song filters thru lawn mowers whines,
spinning blades craving man’s perfection.
Beryl slaves rooted for decapitation,
sacrificed
for a false paragon.
Tiny throats burst forth a ménage of notes,
chaotic symphony breeds serenity,
wild aptness laced in bird song moments,
freedom
from conformity.
Brilliant quietude floats in chartreuse,
nature’s purity of fractal living,
No mind or thought to be as one,
unfettered desires bloom in meadows,
Naïve of the spinning blades.
lively illustration with words that paints a picture of nature's birds doing business as normal, while man does his menial task of mowing the lawn.
The perfection of a mid-Spring day, except for the need to mow that damn lawn.
The perfection of a mid-Spring day, except for the need to mow that damn lawn.
Uncontrolled desire ~ naive to the ways love can be destroyed. For now the brilliant quietude suffices. Beautiful illustration.
that pulls me in:
Tiny throats burst forth a ménage of notes,
chaotic symphony breeds serenity,
wild aptness laced in bird song moments,
freedom
from conformity.

i find solace and peace in this piece......nicely done...don
Look, I've been avioding this, I hate the idea of illustrated poety; however, if
one scolls down, the words are quite nice.
The second stanza, adding enough dissonance to what otherwise may have been too cloying.
I was instantly captivated by the way that you used language to bridge the gap between your words and the beauty that was being described. Excellent word choice...
is what this poem held Me in. The vivid and near three dimentional illustration was the perfect backdrop for the poem itself; reinforcing the color of the mind set you conveyed. I've been lavished with beauty and tranquility here. Thank you - you "Du do" it again with this piece <smile>

I am amazed how a thing of beauty can cause people to have brain farts. I find your work is exceptionally creative and masterfully written. And to spice it with a picture ...
well I hope to see more... <grinin>
