Bumblebees and thistles

Thistles hold nectar and for hummers and bees

Thistles and whistles from fields of clover 

dandelion fluff on windy skies... 

clouds of doubt lie about on 

seldom seen trails of tears...  

Where flowers grow in moonlight beams 

spreading as falling stars dream... 

birds nesting on boughs of love 

until spring soothes their fears... 

Blossoms lie dormant as thunder rolls 

and sunsets glow is shadowed... 

by images of fairy silhouettes 

against a persimmon sky...  

Cameo ladies dance in gypsy gowns 

as violins play Vienna waltz's... 

from far off lands where exotic 

birds sing of romance and love...

I love your writing . . . but even more, I love your way of seeing the natural world. Since I write much from nature, I get many good ideas from your writing about things I've totally forgotten to notice & find words for! Descriptive, original, & vivid word choices thru-out! (((HUGS)))

dear Margie... thank you for your lovely review about thistles and bumblebees. My mother used to cut and put thistles in flower bouquets and even include p***y willow branches. As a very young child we lived in Ohio where the landscape and environment was filled with nature's bounty. I inherited my love of nature from my Mom. hugs, Pat

[barleygirl]

I have always loved the stickery beauty of thistles! A very unappreciated flower! *smile*

[Patricia Wedel]

Thistles are gorgeous ... and deserve recognition... hope your days are stitched with nature's embroidery... hugs, Pat

Can only echo what Coyote has written.
Lovely enchanting journey through the thistles and clover. Feels like the journey through the north of Scotland.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Paul... the north of Scotland would be a place like Brigadoon...
where enchantment and love remain... truly, Pat

Amazing use of words and thoughts my friend.
"Cameo ladies dance in gypsy gowns
as violins play Vienna waltz's...
from far off lands where exotic
birds sing of romance and love... "
The above lines. The words danced and were magic for the reader. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

dear John... amazing grace to read your review. My father's family were from Hungary. Gypsy music is in my blood. I wear an authentic Cameo (a family heirloom). Thanks for stopping by. truly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome dear Pat.

[emmajoy]

Here I am wrapped by your idyllic verse and please, may I stay?! You're a 'person whisperer', Patricia; you create lovely scenes and set me plonk in the middle of them. Lovely!

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Emma joy... I would give you a rainbow shawl to wear around your shoulders... if only I could. Your review has touched my heart and soul. truly, Pat

[emmajoy]

My absolute pleasure... and now, am about to soak self in its charm - again.. Happy Sunday. :)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Emmajoy... I shall think about being a "person whisperer"... a lovely complement to cherish and ponder... Happy Sunday.. Roger and I will tour Geri Melcher's estate Belmont today Sunday ... His home and separate stone Art Studio where many of his original oil paintings are on display. You could Google his name and read his biography and perhaps view some of his Art. Belmont is a few miles from our home in Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA truly, Pat

[emmajoy]

Oh, lucky, lucky you! Will certainly Google the name and place.. am entirely ignorant of both/all. Have a wonderful visit, stay safe and smiling. (Patricia)

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Emmajoy... We are having the chill of winter with dreams of buds bursting forth in spring... Stay warm and safe. truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Nothing less an exotic write from an enigmatic poet. Your words come alive in nature and on the paper form...:)..............

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami, I love the meaning of enigmatic. you made my poem come alive. Thanks for stopping by. truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. You are welcome. ...:::))))

[Lydia Shutter]

There is a mystical magical feel to this poem, Pat. The image of "cameo ladies in gypsy gowns" is just stunning! Yes, spring is coming and with it all the beautiful blossoms, butterflies, and sunshine. A joy to read you. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lydi, It is almost as though I wrote this poem for Melania our first lady. Her Inaugural gown was elegantly worn as a cameo lady with a gypsy flair.
I wish we could join her for tea and wish her well.
truly, Pat
