On Blair Mountain,
wildflowers bloom profusely
in springtime.
Wild Blue Phlox bend and sway
in the chilly breeze
while sprightly
Dandelions frolic among them;
thick stands of
Cattails huddle next to ponds,
their flowering spikes reaching
for the sun; copious
Violets creep over greening
meadows, transforming
them to blue velvet, and convey
a stunning image as they vie
with dazzling yellow
Buttercups for “Best of Show.”

Lovely poem Peggy. I get a mental picture when I read it. You painted that picture well.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Peg. Love it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice poem! It's difficult to read it without seeing it. That's what a good poet does -- paints a picture! Good job.
