Poem - POETIC PAINTING

 POETIC PAINTING

A riot of color a joy to see.
The Green of the grass, the blossomed tree.
The last of the daffodils, gold cups exposed. 
      Scarlet bougainvillea, full white rose.

A painter’s palette, sheer ecstasy.
The many colored-bushed, spreading sweet pea
Scented Brunsfelsia, mauve, lavender, and white.
      Perfuming the air, fragrant and bright.

A symphony of bird song, each September morn.
Feathered friends, cooing doves, greeting the dawn.
Gentle winds whispering to grass, bird and tree.
      Completing the picture of nature’s symmetry.
