Nature's Glory

In honor of Earth day I'll do another couplet, but this one is a Colors of Nature Couplet I got from Stephanie's blog. It's not that I'm a pot-smoking hippy running around in my tie dyed dress with flowers in my hair, but I am a citizen of the planet, specifically the American continent. So here's the tribute:

NATURE'S GLORY

Scarlet are the poppies fair 
That I twine into my hair









Tangerine the sunsets glow
And the reef fish down below 









Sunflowers make my mom's heart sing
She loves them more than anything

 











Verdant, lovely grassy greens
Makes me think of fairy queens










Azure, vaulted desert skies
Glow forever in my eyes









Indigo my heart's desire
Lilacs fragrant do inspire

 










Purple plums and luscious grapes
Nearly twilight mountain-scapes









All the colors of God's palet
Couldn't be bought with any wallet

Crazy how hard it is to find a chaplet of roses. They were roses instead of poppies before but I couldn't find pictures. Ah well. Just as pretty.

Day the 22nd--Nature Poem--A Bee-utiful Story

So today's a Nature Poem. If you want to know what that is, land here.

A BEE-UTIFUL STORY
The honey bee so fuzzy yellow
Is a natty sort of fellow

It works all day in orange sun
Buzzing flowers for its fun

Too bad it stopped off on my shirt
A smashing hand with which to flirt

Now it's gone to meet its doom
I sweep its guts up with a broom

I'm sorry little honey bee
That Mr. Yellow messed with me.
