They appear in the morning
In the early mist of dawn
In all their splendid glory
Sitting on their throne
Growing beside the blue bells
The asters are misty with dew
Even the black eyed Susan's
Bow down to them too
The daisies are so excited
Snow white with glee
Such beauty so dominate
Streaming so elegantly
Each little passion flower
Blows kisses in the wind
Along side the cone flower
A welcoming transcend
Even the blue eyed grass
Grows more proud and tall
Trying to over shadow
Each forget me not call
Those lovely fringed orchids
Sway their fancy dress
An orchestra of cattails
A glorious concert at best
The cosmos are so happy
In their own hemisphere
Among a haven of paradise
So loudly, they cheer
Each morning is perfection
In the bright sunlight
Even the evening primrose
Wakes up thinking of night
Those pretty, little wine cups
Raise their cup so high
A toast to such creation
In the midst of beauty nigh
Even the reigning queen
Of Solomon in all his glory
The lilies of the field
Stand and bow accordingly
Climbing, climbing more high
On a glorious summer stroll
Those beautiful morning glories
What a sight to behold
Susie Swanson, 2013
You've described all these flowers so well! Do you have all these in flower beds? What grand color!
ReplyDeleteThank you Charlotte. No but we have them scattered about this time of year. I did plant some Morning Glory Seeds this year and they are so beautiful. I was looking at them in my yard climbing the big maple and I had seen this picture and it came to me to write something about Morning Glories.
DeleteThe morning glories are so sweet...and resiliant!
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me that they need no deep roots to survive.
I used to have so many more, but a squirrel carried off the vines that I had hanging in order to preserve their seed pods...I suppose she needed it for her winter nest!
Haven't had much luck with them since. I should plant some more soon!

Thank you Lisa. I love them also and they amaze me too. Blessings and love to you .
ReplyDeleteOh this is such a lovely poem, Susie. I love flowers of all sorts, and this paints such a great picture of them all. Morning glories are one of my most favorite. I hope you have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteAwe, thank you so much Daisy. I don't know of a single flower that i don't like.. You have a nice weekend as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Susie, what a beautiful poem! I love morning glories, they are one of my most favorite flowers. I love flowering vines of all types. They used to be one of my favorite hobbies. I don't have a flower garden these days, but when I lived in California before I hurt my back, I had trellises all along the fence line of our little backyard and grew morning glories and various colors of boganvilla. (I think I'm spelling that wrong) :)
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I used to love to do, was plant two different vines very close together and then as they grew, I would intertwine the branches. When it was time for the plants to bloom they would burst out with all different colors on one trellis! It was so pretty and unusual looking. I also once trained a gorgeous blue plumbago bush to grow up the side of the house and around a bay window. I babied that dear plant everyday like a pet :) Sigh, I miss my garden , but I have such wonderful memories. :)
There is a big storm that is suppose to blow through later today. We had a lot of thunder and lightening yesterday. But on the good side, all the extra rain has filled up our front pond and the water looks fresh and clear. I'm sure the fish and turtles are loving that! The grass and fields are so green and pretty too. Have a lovely afternoon! With Love, Delisa :)
Oh I can just see those vines now Delisa. How beautiful they must have been.. Hope the storm doesn't get to bad and you stay safe. Thank you for taking me along with your beautiful memories.. With love.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty poem and I enjoyed Delisa's comment too. Have a nice evening.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mildred. I enjoyed her comment too..
