A Natural Selection # 15

IN THE DEWY WINTER MEADOW

In the dewy winter meadow
I watch the dawn’s first rays
Beginning to evaporate the mist
In the majesty of winter days

GALES ARE DRIVING WAVES

Gales are driving waves
Against the resilient shore,
And pounding
Them on to the rocks,
While on the edge of the wind
There is distant thunder sounding

NOCTURNAL

Nocturnal creatures scurry
And bats take flight
As the owl stands sentinel
Over a woodland night

THE FIERCE WINTER GALES

The fierce winter gales
Howl all through the night
Whipping up the seas
And turning wave tops white
The poor souls at sea
On the dark winter night
In the teeth of the tempest
Feel it’s savage bite
And pray to their gods
To save them from their plight
As the gale blows through
On the dark winter night

IN THE DEPTHS OF PURPLE CLOUDS

In the depths of purple clouds
Soft and temperate as the night
Masks the setting of the sun
And hides the fading of the light

THE FRENCH MARIGOLD – GOLDEN SOLDIERS

The French Marigold is more than
Just a pretty flower of the daisy family
The Tagetes Patula is actually
Native to Mexico and Guatemala
With flowers of blended red and yellow
Combine to give the pleasing sight
Of the vibrant Golden headed sentries
Along the herbaceous borders edge

You took me there to those tormented seas.
I saw those purple twilight skies.
Beautiful poetry, Biggus!

My favorites are Nocturnal and In the Depths of Purple Clouds.

And bats take flight

Over a woodland night
