how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)
e.e. cummings
April is painting this day
in every colour of crimson cosmos
and pomegranates cracking on the bough –
the Autumn skies are clear as a bell
ringing in shades of blue
This golden day is your own
laid out in patterns of fallen leaves
and arrows of birds flying towards the sun –
Let me not measure loss in tears but
remember a rose has your name
Day 18 ~ PAINTED
Susie is our host in The Imaginary Garden today, with Bits of Inspiration: Bell
"Let me not measure loss in tears but remember a rose has your name," this is absolutely stunning, Kerry! It reminded me of a quote by Ellen Everett that states; let us live like flowers wild and beautiful and drenched in sun.💞
ReplyDeleteI like the "arrows of birds"!
ReplyDeleteI like how your referenced the bell as the color of the sky. I too like "arrow of birds." Beautiful poem Thank you so much for writing for the prompt.
ReplyDeleteI so love how you brought the bell to the autumn... maybe every season has its bell.
ReplyDeleteIf I jabbed my paintbrush at any line in this poem I could paint a beautiful landscape just as you have. Vibrant SA...
ReplyDeleteSounds really good, nice and colorful. I equate your April to our October, roses here are having their final burst of red then (really not here in the south).
ReplyDelete..
How incredibly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like the arrow of birds
ReplyDeleteI love April’s artistic use of colour in the crimson cosmos and ‘pomegranates cracking on the bough’ and the ‘bell ringing in shades of blue’, Kerry.
ReplyDeletethis has the lyricism of a medieval love poem, Kerry ~
ReplyDeleteAgree with Grapeling's comment. Lovely.
