Dreaming Meadows

My inspiration comes from two sources, people and nature, this a mix of the both, make of it what you will!

Azure skies dance against vermilion leaves

Hillside leas afloat the gentle breeze

Where gilded ears of plenty swoon

Patchwork hedgerows glisten on dew

Welling abundance born anew

Flitting passions a blurring hue

Willows sway wistful caressing its dawn

Meandering waters in rainbows spawn

Phallic rushes defend the virile door

Suckling its rhizome to her bosom once more

Harmony of melodies from regal bowers

Wooded scapes casting aubade shadows

Deeply boring natures subterranean hallows

My Dear Writing Friend From Across The Pond,
You make me smile, as on this vibrant tapestry I ran smack into four words I had no understand of. There definitions are posted below. As I pondered their meanings I could see how this uniquely beautiful write could have a plethora of meanings.
When I realized that the word “phallic” could mean an erect penis I had to laugh. Wow I had a “phallic” once! Then I realized that I could of written a “aubade” this morning, would it of been about my “phallic”? Would I have recited this poem from behind a “hedgerow”, not likely as the falling snow would of frozen off my “phallic”! If I had someone might have planted me in a “rhizome” fashion, once again hard on the “phallic” if one is face down in the snow.
Still wondering if I have this write fully understood I’m going to bed with a new word in my vocabulary, I can hardly wait until tomorrow when I hit the coffee shop and inform all my friends I’ve a better “phallic” than they!

Blessings, Your BillBear

Hahaha you do make me laugh, BillBear! There has been a lot of debate over this one and it's meaning, my take was, that it is about nature and all which she does to continue to thrive. It does have sexual undertones but isn't that the very essence of all things living. The most natural act on earth, everything living has to reproduce.
Aubade also means sunny ;-)

My Dear Writing Friend From Across The Pond,
I actually could tell it was a poem about nature, and a very beautiful poem at that. As your words unfolded I could see Mother Nature in all her vibrancies. Well written, a snapshot of the creation. You are gifted my friend, I just was having fun with my first post.

Blessings, BillBear

"Willows sway wistful caressing the dawn" What wonderful and passionate phrases you employ in this wonderful righteous romp through the garden. "Meandering waters in rainbows spawn" this "harmony of melodies from regal bowers."
"Patchwork hedgerows glisten on dew". It inspires me to read it over and over again. Thanks for your inspirational choice of wording. It works wonderfully my friend!

[TrimarcoRansome]

Thank you for reading and reviewing my work, I'm pleased you enjoyed it!

[emmajoy]

Nature is everything, every colour, overtone, suggestion, breath, life to death and, in between .. and if you will - reincarnation without formula! Wonderful words,

'Patchwork hedgerows glisten on dew ~ Welling abundance born anew ~ Flitting passions a blurring hue ~ ~ Willows sway wistful caressing its dawn.. '

[TrimarcoRansome]

Thank you for your wonderful review!

[emmajoy]

My pleasure!

[Zahra]

Great eloquence and imagery. Beautiful work

[TrimarcoRansome]

Thank you very much

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Great poem, the following lines are very interesting "Meandering waters in rainbows spawn " "Wooded scapes casting aubade shadows ", Congratulations great work, the poem reads as a story, then the meaning unfolds.

[TrimarcoRansome]

Thank you for the review! Rainbows refer to trout and aubade [sunny] shadows refers to the changing of the planet, the sun and its part it plays in all things living

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Yes, the astrology vault is awesome.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson..]

I was astounded by the first few lines (8 to be exact) loved the colours you were painting........crisp and clear............then out of the blue the poem took on sexual overtones unexpectedly and for me this didn't work.

You know am "no prude" and I'd very much like to see an erotic piece from you.

[TrimarcoRansome]

The core of the poem was exploring the facts nature, without sex there would be no nature.
Good to see you having some time off John!

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

I disagree...LOL! There is a lot more elemental nature than biological nature in our known universe...............and that does not need sex. :)

[TrimarcoRansome]

Without biological reproduction there would be no nature. this planet would be a rock, lifeless.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Rock......especially high rock is my favourite bit of nature! Obviously :)

[TrimarcoRansome]

I know! haha that's why I took it as example!!

[Stella Armour]

Dreaming Meadows is exactly the right title for this lovely piece Helen

"Where gilded ears of plenty swoon

Patchwork hedgerows glisten on dew"

[TrimarcoRansome]

Thank you Stella, I draw most of my inspiration from nature and the world around us

[Stella Armour]

and a beautiful world it is if we stop to admire it Helen..

[TrimarcoRansome]

It always amazes me how people dive to places of beauty and miss so much on the way, you are so right!

[Stella Armour]

yes and it is the journey that holds the most beauty...
