Florescence

by Melissa   Feb 6, 2009


Lately I've grown quite fond of Mother Nature,
I feed her bananas
and stardust from my dreams

she must fancy fruit
sprinkled with reverie
considering buttercups
have perched their buttery florets
atop such a stout stem,
all bushy-tailed
and chirping efflorescent songs

I've been plucking weeds
among other needless things
that suppress such harmony
with contrary refrains

these hands so deftly bred
dust and notions
into the most peppy little clusters
a ground could imagine
and I can't help but wonder
if anyone else dares to dream

    I adored this piece. I don't seem to see many nature poems lately which don't rely on all the description. It's good to see you adding not only to beautiful and tranquil feeling to my mind, but also the emotion. Because emotion to me lights a heart on fire and forms the most creative poetry.

    As I said above I adored this piece, the wording was just so elegant like always. I found that I felt as if I was traveling with you in a peaceful dream. Quite gorgeous might I add.

    "Lately I've grown quite fond of Mother Nature,
    I feed her bananas
    and stardust from my dreams"

    I liked the lines above, Hardly ever do I hear the word bananas in poetry and even though it's a common word it's unused in my opinion. I like the fact you don't write with cliche wording. Definitly captures my attention.

    "I've been plucking weeds
    among other needless things
    that suppress such harmony
    with contrary refrains"

    The stanza above was my favorite, I really can't explain why, I just felt it held a softer tone to it as I read it which really allowed my body to become calm. Lovely.

    Overall this was a wonderful piece. Well done. -Mel
