Buttercup Grass

Honey Rose dances in buttercup grass

that reaches clear up to her knees;

She waltzes the meadow

and leaps through the woods,

her music the birdsong and breeze

and the Sun smiles down

on sweet Honey Rose

keeping time with the Summer’s rich tune

beckoning us to join the ballet;

the melody changes so soon

 

Author's Note

Just some end-of-summer musing...

Love this dance on your page Rita. Yes, let us all enjoy these closing moments of blissful summer, we'll soon be whinging about winter, before you know it. :)

[Rita L. Sev]

So true - in winter we long for summer, and in summer we complain about the heat! :) Thanks Frieda!

[Frieda P]

Then we write fractured fairy tales. :) My pleasure always....!

This was fun Rita. Your poem created a wonderful melody in my mind. I really enjoyed this today.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Will! Glad you enjoyed!

[Marie]

That's true. Summer will be leavingus soon, and I can give up my August poems and turn to Autumn. The idea of buttercup grasss is a lovely image.

[Rita L. Sev]

My favorite color combination is that of bright yellow blooms on summer grass... Thank you, Marie!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I love to watch natures dance, it is the most graceful and eloquent one ever. A beautifully clever piece of writing.

[Rita L. Sev]

Nature never fails to give inspiration! Thanks, Dale!

I hear ya there :))

[Lydia Shutter]

A delightful poem, Rita. I could picture a young girl...perhaps one of my granddaughters...romping through a field filled with flowers and butterflies....and giggling as she drinks in the scene. Indeed, the melody changes all too soon. I wish I could still waltz through the meadow with Honey Rose! Such an uplifting write. Wonderful! Lydi**

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes, she is definitely giggling... though she may enjoy a romp in the snow just as much! :) Thank you, Lydi, for such positive comments!

[Sheila Kline]

Oh, let's all join Honey Rose as she waltzes the meadow and leaps through the woods........we can be a part of such a spectacular ending to the warmth of summer as we ballet with her!!
I adore this Rita!!

[Rita L. Sev]

Only a few more days before school starts here - thought I'd find a dance partner for a final frolic! :) Thanks, Sheila!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i love your poetry...it always has such life and bounce to it...such positive feelings...

you write about happy things....

[Rita L. Sev]

I really do try to do so, Jacob - and most days, I find something happy (or silly) to write... Thank you so much.

[Renée]

Sweet musing Rita.. my favorite subject and love your whimsical style ! I could read it 100 times !

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you so much, Renee - I am especially pleased when you enjoy my musings on Nature, since that is your forte!

[Renée]

I love it ! Leaves me smiling ( :

[Rocans]

Will be a frigid tune soon. Honey Rose better make the most of the melody that remains. Nice sunny read, though if I look back on this one in a couple month's time, I shall look back in anger and grudge for Honey Rose's frolic. Nice, refreshing read this. I wished it were longer though. :)

[Rita L. Sev]

I just read the Farmers' Almanac predictions - the upcoming winter may be very much like last year... I will dream of buttercup grass on those cold days... :) Thank you, Rocans - glad you enjoyed!
