cosmos flower
Oh the pastoral, or nature poem as it is better known today. A poet's prerogative! I'm so inspired right now from all things spring that I have a bouquet of pastoral poems to offer today.
Cosmos
Just two syllables
and you have a garden universe
of tutti-frutti colour,
frilly-headed
wonder,
knee-deep
in soul-speak.
Pink smiles
with yellow eyes
under a blue sky
unwavering,
wild,
affably bestow
beauty's code:
joy,
in love and life,
joy!
infinite
and untold.
***
Budding
Like new buds on trees
happiness comes
as a sudden burst of green.
Lime tufts coiled in prayer-praise
tickled by growth
laugh loud in felicitous glee.
Leaves are a kind of love.
Bloom is a hope watered
and sunned with smiles.
Happiness, an innate aptitude
for sky.
***
Spring Sunset
This April evening sun
is a tangerine
squeezed on the horizon.
Tomorrow there will be zest
and zing. Citrus-flavoured
new day wonder.
