Wildflowers

An undulating sea

of yellow, pink, and green

gently swaying in the breeze

your twirling petals wistfuly tease.

 

Buttercups and daisies

a child's innocent boquet

given with love and reverance

on a long ago Mother's Day.

 

Viewed along the mountain road

they always lead the way home

with cerulean blue and indian red

you find a Texan born and bred.

 

Twisted, creeping vines

lain upon the Earth in un-lines

fashioned lanes of a lover's bounty

traveled by feet of every county.

 

Through the years, the joy and pain

one thing always remains

honest in all it's blossoms

the wildflowers of Earth are awesome.

Author's Note

Yes, ladies and gentleman, I do know that un-lines is not really a word, but this is poetry so it counts in my book. :) Thank you all for reading I greatly appreciate it.

I loved the images that flowed from your ink on this piece!
I could feel a sense of bliss and peace. Even the sweet smell that would drift from such flowers seemed to swell from reading this.

Wonderful Ink!

Un-lines Hum, I like your poem. It is hard to find good peotry but this site has some of the best. I enjoy reading poems for a poet never lies they say. An undilating sea gives the impression of wall to wal flowers. It is great. Nioce start for a peom. Jay

aww ....We can misperceive the beauty we see, and be misled about its nature, as well as perceive this to be the way that it is, this was wonderfully written. thank you for entering my contest.

Love it... laying out the beauty that is all across this land but many fail to notice... your words created a vivid image in my mind making me long for a nice road trip just so i can look at these marvels in person.
