~ Poetry Bluebird ~

...Friend...

he flew into my life from out of the blue

a gifted poet whose works I’d recommend

A handsome little bird breezed right through

with a song in his heart he soared so bright

carrying a radiance of sapphire skies upon wings in flight

...Pain...

he's suffered the loss of a chick from his nest

but true bluebird style he'd never complain

Perched among blossoms, he’d say he was blessed

darting above rainbows with poems to recite

carrying a radiance of sapphire skies upon wings in flight

...New...

downey feathers cascaded down to my page

he fluttered to cavity abode, in an old review

New friend, beautifully captured in gilded cage

caught in the imagery of a poets delight

carrying a radiance of sapphire skies upon wings in flight

...Adoration...

comes through the seeds of tender communication

woven lines of weed, from streamside imagination

Harbinger of happiness and purest infatuation

emerged at my lowest he inspired me to write

carrying a radiance of sapphire skies upon wings in flight

 Here is my attempt at a crown of Wordflair stanzas:

"Dee's Blooms"

 Curiosity

 I merely stopped as one of those who were

 impressed by Roxy's virtuosity

 I had no plans to buy and that's for sure.

 One bold and pretty image of a tree

 The limbs were reaching out it seems, for me.

 

 Enchanted

 I walked away, intrigued to view the other art;

 determined not to buy I found that I’d recanted

 "Dee's Blooms" had pulled me gently back by soul and heart.

 A captivated soul not wanting free,

 The limbs were reaching out it seems, for me.

 

 Compelled

 I fumbled to withdraw my cash

 my anxiousness could not be quelled.

 My purchase was not one bit rash.

 I knew I'd bought excellent quality

 The limbs were reaching out it seems, for me.

 

 Assent

 The blossoms were inert within the store.

 At home they often have a vivid scent.

 If ideas entertained by me were sore

 the flowers stank; if not, most sweet they'd be.

 The limbs were reaching out it seems, for me.

 

 Direction

 I've grown in life and love and wit

 "Dee's Bloom" has served as my connection.

 to making decisions that fit.

 So I thank Roxy for that tree.

 The limbs were reaching out it seems, for me.
