What Do You See?

Butterflies take flight

 to the sun

to see the beauty

 of its rise and fall

it's metamorphosis

 a mystical tale

as the moon spins

 out of control

toppling crashing

 waves to rush 

azure seas 

glint shores of magic

pink flamingos

 on a blue lagoon

magnificent

 blue whales leap

to steal a glimpse

 of delightful

posies dabbling

 in watercolors

peacocks try

 to steal the show

the giraffe sticks

 his neck out

to see the glory

 of a dragonfly

who lands on the

 fierce tigress

protecting her

 fuzzball cubs

koalas hug and kiss

 fervently

in hopes of creating

 a wee joey

Paint a picture,

 what do you see

the spectacular

 beauty of nature

gloriously bountiful

for all to share

Well... Hmmm
I would have to write a poem to reply dear.
I do see a poet dreaming a living dream. I see a poet who is part of this very landscape and no less Devine than the beauty that surrounds her.
Stay in this happy garden a spell my dear. It isy wish for you this Sabbath morn.

may nature continue to love and inspire you this was really a good poem you've used your words to create eden WOW XD good way to capture beauty and grace one thing I've noticed that where beauty is a main factor man made devices are nowhere to be found we really did ruin the earth didn't we

The beauty of nature abounds and in your descriptions of divine creations for us to view we at times feel totally under their spell! You have painted a glorious picture!!

This read like a magical travel brochure. I'd love to visit but your words do a beautiful job of painting this inviting landscape so I am happy to visit by reading your poem.

[luviva]

wow,
this is such a great poem.
the imagery is so strong and the descriptive nature of it is so gripping
you know?? like a question to your own readers, what do you see..its more like a question from you but a challenge that nature poses for us!
what do you see in me?? is it too good to prevent you from destroying me??
real good stuff.
continue writing my friend!

[Frieda P]

I love it when people can read me! Thanks so much.

[luviva]

so did i read you??

[Frieda P]

Exactly :-D

[luviva]

glad i did..
i think am getting the hang of it!

[Frieda P]

The hang of reading poetry or me? I'll have to change it up then, I hate being predictable! lol ;-)

[luviva]

no not the poetry or you??
just the hang of interpretting people's words u knw..
this poetry reading is more like a mind game..
when the reader starts reading.. they think" what was the poet's intention here" u knw what i mean??

[Frieda P]

Definitely, everyone looks at it differently from their frame of reference and experiences. It really doesn't matter if the reader gets it, but it's nice sometimes, once it's out there it belongs to everyone.
