Comment from Eternal Muse
What a magnificent flower, Brooke, and you it supreme justice with your lovely poem. Excellent rhyme, flow, cadence and word choices.
My favorites were:
Perhaps some fairy dust had spilled
to form the fabric of this spread,
but every fairy's pouch stayed filled
as they were flying overhead.
Great visuals here - and I draw a mental picture of that flower.
Well done.

Comment from Delahay
This is a lovely poem that could be describing a meadow covered with golden flowers. Or perhaps a field of ripened wheat or blanketed with daffodils. A beautiful and whimsical way to portray such a thing. And the picture is quite stunning.

I like this poem. For, it kept it's mystic, all the way
until the end... and not even there, did the mystery end.
But it was left to the imagination, that God was the only one who could have sent the "Golden Chevrolet". You writing is hot. Keep writing.

Comment from Just2Write
The easy conversational tone of this poem makes it so intriguing. The abab pattern and bouncy meter of the rhyme is just enough to make one want to keep pace with it.
Loved the whole thing, Brooke. I reminded me of Wordsworth's classic - I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud.

Strikingly beautiful as always. I love the reference to fairy dust and monarch butterflies but the last two lines are my favorite: I think I know the answer!

Beautiful work, shall I even say beautiful work that i am accustomed to? Your obvious talent just shines all the way through this work. It amazes me how you can routinely write these wonderful poems without sound stale, boring or like you are beginning to repeat yourself. And there, right there is the answer to your question. It was your creativity that created the golden coverlet. Aha!

Hi...this is almost a whimsy, I think. I enjoyed the images and the question at the end.
I am glad you were inspired by the photo.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hello adewpearl, Brooke, A thought-provoking poem with silky rhyming. I especially liked:
The golden coverlet was there --
of that I never had a doubt.
Who wove this cloth with skill so rare,
I leave to you to figure out.
(Ohhh, the glorious wonders of the world. How deliciously breathtaking.)
A fun poem. I could feel the wonder within. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Beautiful tribute to a yellow rose. They're my favorites. For some reason, I have difficulty growing them here. I keep replacing mine every couple of years.
Very imaginative and very well rhymed, Brooke. Lovely!
