Monsieur Monet
have you seen my rose
dawn has flourished
a masterpiece
as sweet scented dews
ravage a petal's
perfum'd essence
these perfect pink medallions
charm my soul
and flourish
only for me
the mistress of the lane
at this prairie chateau
my sandy loam
is hardly your palette
but your
uncultivated cousin
as coarse as the winds
rather would wander here
renegade princess of the fence row
she rules untethered
lacking regalia
she is strong willed
and true to her course
my sweet shy partner
renouncing the winds
we share seat to the throne
queens of the conservatory
the wild ones
bloom in singular
love of the home'lund
thorny and scorned
yet petite dreams of
castled gardens in the
the highlunds
bloom
for these wild prairie forbes
not so far from our minds
a painted portrait resides
of two fair maids
hand in hand
the petaled princess
and the faded rose

As always a dreamer and shadow shooter I meet with like-minded souls to share shadow portraits, though it's Sunday in Australia, us Westerners gather early to chat with our Aussie pals. We're having a blast over at Harriet's place...won't you join us there???

Beautiful, as always, girl! I love the heirloom "Mothers Day" roses that bloom around here--- along the fences and in yards of older homes where they were planted a long time ago.
Thank you so much for your encouraging comments--through discouragement came realization that it would be so hard to give up my on-line friends!!
(oh, and don't forget to pick me up on your way to FL)
Happy SSS Sharon
beautiful, romantic...
Both - picture and text - a whole, againg.

mmmmmm....love that pitcher & cups! Love the new header as well!
We're feeling the need to fluff as well...can't wait to see how your painting project goes - 'tis the season of change isn't it?!!
Won't be long and you can fill that pitcher with lemonade and sit a spell on the porch at the pink chateau!
A pitcher of hot tea on a cold day. We can warm up our hands on the mugs of warn liquid age look at the beauty of the warm season, a rose in bloom. We feel the warmth on our fingers and dream of warm weather beauty. A love ly capture!
Very lovely.
Beautiful words and shadows! Love the colors. The photo has it's own sense of mystery. Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Those rose cups have wonderful soft shadows, suggesting a touch of beauty from the mists of legend! Love the angled photo to show shadows within the cups!
And that glorious poem! Love the address to Monet as if letting him know that you be kindred spirits!
Summer is here with a vengeance! I had a feeling that end of January and February would be the real hot months! It is very perspirey today!
I am trying to sit quietly this afternoon with curtains drawn close to reduce the heat of glare! And the fans are swirling! (I am not fussed with air conditioners!)
I am back at school and already the work is piling! Unbelievable! But that's OK! It's early days and I feel energised after the hols!
Big extra warm hugs dear friend! I have heaps of warmth to share!
