Kentuckygirl68's blog: "My Poetry"

A gorgeous spring afternoon,
the sky, heaven's bed, sprinkled
with angel clouds. Hummingbirds
returning from winter's
odyssey.

I survey the yard, the same garden
as always, Bermuda grass coming up
thru brown death, making it's
annual journey thru the fertile soil
( some odyssey's are measured in inches ).

The hedges, manicured neatly, smartly.
The flowers, ah...... did I mention the
flowers, Roses in every vibrant color,
Gladiolas towering.
Orchids, royalty of the garden, nobility.

Then there is your favorite, the Stargazers.
Soft tender whiteness sharply held
against the bold red, so fruity and sweetly
aromatic. Just now coming to life
in the aftermath of a swift April shower.

The flowers always come up shy, slowly,
carefully ( when nurtured, cared for ).

I look over to you ( transfixed upon the hummingbirds )
and think to myself ..The heart opens
slowly.
