Oh Brooke....
On with all the flowers
On this winters chill
Beauty and the power
Love the daffodills
In my garden iris is king
Roses are a draw
Orchids make me sing
Waiting for the thaw
Never with out a bloom
All year around
Still I wait for May and June
As they lie in wait , in the ground
love the blooms...
(hoping in heaven too... )
Without, the beer bottles, and other contaminants...

I missed reading your dandelion poems. Your poem has a wonderful message. The image of the dandelion catches the reader's attention.

adewpearl--When will we as a whole learn to appreciate
the beauty of the simplest of our great endowment(s)?
Well, I for one am starting with how easy you make these

What a great opening line : I who haven't learned to fly ...
I like the old fashioned simplicity of the rhyme and metre in your poem.
Pretty and thoughtful.

Comment from Debra White
I enjoyed your poem so much.
I love your rhyming, the simplicity and beauty of your message and the presentation is also wonderful.
I like the observation that we learn to be content. So often we long for what we can't have and long to be what we can't be...its a hard lesson learned to be content with our lot.
'but oh such consolation I find in Earth's display.' I love the joy in this last line.
Thanks for sharing, I love it :) Debra

Debra, thank you so much - I'm so glad you like that line, which I revised several times :-) Brooke
Comment from GWinterwin
Beautiful poem my friend. Words telling just how beautiful the flowers are, even if they can't fly or soar in the heavens above. They have their place in the field of beauty. Great poem with great rhyming and word flow to make another beautiful piece of poetry.

Comment from Judy Swanson
I'm thinking that perhaps you have learned to fly - in your own way, with your own words.
Yet - a great sentiment that finds serenity and pleasure in the simplest things in life, with no sense of disappointment in the things unattainable.
Well written series of quatrains make the point with ease and imagery.

Comment from Curtis Hatch
Brooke,
The poem is skillfully penned with outstanding rhythm and rhyme. The imagery is excellent as is your selection of colors and photograph. The piece is a pleasure to read, and I learned something today...I had never heard of a daffodilly.
