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.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Lovely poem Frieda but even poetic licence wil not allow koalas to produce a baby kangaroo (joey) lol!

[Frieda P]

Sometimes you're just a tonic, and sometimes you're just a pill John! Baby koalas are so called joeys! :-P

[C.C. Marx]

Such a lovely mental picture, I've got a soft spot for koalas. Nicely done as always!! :)

[Frieda P]

I guess a lot of people do, they're so cuddly and adorable.. ;-) Thanks so much.

[C.C. Marx]

[DIVYA]

Its my firm belief that writers like you don't need a a palette of colors & paintbrush to paint a picture. They do it equally beautifully with their cache of pretty pretty words.

[Frieda P]

Shucks, you're gonna make me blush, and I don't blush! ;-)
Truly thank you Divya xo

[DIVYA]
