Sleeping Roses

Lips kissing a Rose ... the fragrance of Wisteria

When Spring arrives in early May we will 

dance around tulips and breathe in wisteria... 

Foxtrotting around sleeping roses 

by the goldfish pond and beyond... 

through the Gate overlooking the City with Steeples and 

a River running along with rapids and ghosts hovering over... 

We will waltz into the romance of roses unfolding with 

love and laughter and the music of flowers....

i find ghosts quite intriguing...and have had a couple encounters. I like this poem for that, but also for the peacefulness and romance of it...ghosts are often depicted as evil, scary, but that is not always the case...
they are like blooming roses...in spring their visages shoot up...and haunt us beautifully.

dear Jacob... your review is awesome, and I also believe there are ghosts who haunt us beautifully... like roses unfolding... waltzing with many ghosts who hear the music of the flowers. truly, Pat

[Robert Trakofler]

sorry had to chime in...they are everywhere

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Bunny (Robert)... I feel their presence...

[Neville]

sounds and reads idyllic Pat... I would really love a koi pond and can imagine myself sitting just watching...

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Neville.. Chatham Heughts is in a hill near the River below. It is an Idyllic garden in bloom all spring and summer. The Goldfish Pond has a large Brass sculpture spraying recycled water with a Gazebo for shade if needed. truly, Pat

[Neville]

what an image you have painted for us Pat.. thank you again....

[Patricia Wedel]

The sculpture is actually a large Fish with it's mouth
up in the air spouting water and sitting on it'd tail. It is awesome to hear the water and take a Video of the Lilly pads in the summer with gold fish swimming around. The caretakers are able to leave the gold fish in the well-built pond all winter. They survive on the algae collected all around inside. It is best for the Caretakers to feed the gold fish in the warm seasons... spring, summer and fall. as ever, Pat

roses are simply wonderful as are your words. the flower of love. writing like this makes me smile and glad to be alive. spring has definitely sprung ... :)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Pete... thank you for embellishing my poem with your gracious sprinkles of sunshine smiles as Spring is bursting forth as never before. The birds are pairing and nesting with new songs, and squirrels are enjoying the unsalted peanuts if they are lucky to find them before the Ravens grab them and hide them... Heaven knows where. truly, Pat

[redzone]

always nice when the roses appear from their winter nap.... I like the romantic flair in this poem Pat... there is a creek that runs past the house and I often sit on the back porch watching the birds at the feeder and sometimes the ducks swimming in the creek.... there is one rose bush near the front of the house that I prune and make sure the weeds stay away... yellow roses bloom and one of the first signs that summer is right around the corner... lovely poem Pat, glad you shared it with us...

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Curt... how special to read your review. We have lived in this home for one year, so we have planted two Cherry trees and blueberry bushes. We have ordered two grape vines from Gurney to plant soon. Hope your spring and summer bring you contentment and pleasure. truly, Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

I can picture you and Roger walking along the banks of the Rappahannock River remembering those who have past...the ghosts of your life that flit back and forth in memory. May you always see roses and smell wisteria in your travels, Pat. Such a lilting lovely write. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lydia... thank you for sprinkling my poem with magical moments spent with loved ones who have gone to that land of abiding love that colors our days and nights with dreams. The scents of roses and wisteria will be our comfort always. truly, Pat

[John the Baptist]

Very nice spring poem. Very well painted word pictures that allowed us to see the scenes unfold in our minds.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear John the Baptist... buds are forming and babtized by raindrops of heavenly love ... where birds dance and chirp in Harmony. Thank you for painting a review of blessings. truly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

among flowers and pretty lovers. I appreciate your review and knowing you will enjoy being with the boys as they learn from you... the beauty of waltzing through
Roses. truly, Pat

[Cherrie Palmer]

The music the of flowers;
What a fantastic line.
You know the slightest of breeze begins their waltz and as we see one sway with three orhers standing firm we begin to believe in the music of the flowers.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Cherry... your charming review is a waltz around the garden ... Inlove how you visualize the Wind as though it was a Conductor with a composed sheet of movements. truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear poets... In Fredericksburg, Virginia... along the Rappahannock River,
we climb the road toChatham Heights where ghosts reside in the house that
served as a hospital during the Civil War. Visitors including the poet Walt Whitman
looked for his brother there. As ever, Pat

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A very uplifting and ebulliant heralding of the changing of the seasons written in a fast flowing and lovely verse.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear John, as Spring touches our heart and soul, we
feel the romance entwined in each flower. Thank you for your charming review. truly, Pat
