Flights of fancy
kiss tender blooms
landing on carpet of chamomile
Lemon verbena opens spring's door
as fleurs of peppermint
scent harmonious wind
swept away
in serenity's weightless
up draft
steeped memories
coax spritely
dance
every day at 3pm

I'm doing the A-Z Blogging challenge. Blog the alphabet in the month of April-six days a week, with Sundays off.
Hannah's challenge was to write a poem about
Tall Blonde
gracefully glides
long legs forward
she bends and swoops
sun salutations
up dog
down dog
tree pose her favorite
even toed temperament
her Alice curiosity
beguiles and enchants
she spots a beautiful pant suit
you can't miss her
model stance

April you fool
enchant with pink confetti
a symphony of bees
then you smirk
n' shock me an Alaska kiss
your sweetness like peppermint
You tease
mean Calendar girl
always flirting
batting your
lashes of wonder
you please me when
watercolored rain
arrives
your colorful smile
comes into view
and my lemon boots dance~

DeleteBeautiful words & pictures, Ella. Happy April.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary and Happy April to you :D
DeleteVery beautiful poems and photos, Ellie........is that a cup of tea in the first poem, that you have at 3 p.m.? If so tell me the flavor. I could use a pick-me-up like that! hee hee. I picked the giraffe too. And I love the saucy "Alaska kiss"....
ReplyDeleteI mix it up! The tea I shared was Calm, but I usually have Zen a Tazo blend. I love to ice Oolong) Tazo's Joy tea is my fav-hard to find, so I make my own. I blend black, green and oolong tea and ice it. I posted about it awhile back...
DeleteThank you Sherry! Yes, gotta love an Alaskan smooch, lol
Oh my - I think you're an over-achiever! Beautiful pics and poems. I'll set my watch for 3:00! :o)
ReplyDeletetee,hee! lol Thank you~ Okay a cup of Zen at 3pm :D

ReplyDeleteHi Kateri...I wish I owned a pair of Lemon boots!

Wonderful collection of poems and photos here Ella! I could smell spring in the first one so I was captured for the whole post!
ReplyDeleteThank you Peggy! Tea does inspire lots of herbal thoughts- I found it fun to write ;D

"swept away
ReplyDeletein serenity's weightless
up draft" is beautiful in your first poem, Ella, and
"Tall Blonde
gracefully glides
long legs forward" is enchanting in the second
but "watercolored rain" is too, too wonderful in the third!
Luv, K

I love all of them, it can't be easy to write so many and still make them all unique and solid, I'm impressed... Winter is knocking here in South Africa
