For All the Ways of Wonderful...




For today's prompt, write a homonym poem.

I began this post yesterday morning before Duty Beauty hailed...

The brook gurgles and bursts with lays
That sparkle to the sea...




The robin, quite industrious
Flits to and fro, intent...



From backroads to main thoroughfares
And all points in between
The landscape tosses fresh manes, fair
In dashing hues of green

The woodland wears an air of wealth
The wares of nature, free
For all to drink to our health
From founts of leaf-primed tree

Spring gushes from a trillion springs
Earth’s wakened deluge streams
Where bare branch bears from supple strings
A rush of bud-requiems

The robin, quite industrious
Flits to and fro, intent
In spite of housewife’s threat and fuss
To build nest in the vent

The brook gurgles and bursts with lays
That sparkle to the sea
To see the birds and hear their praise
Births praise in you and me

…for yellow frill of daffodil
For silver raindrop waltz
For purple pansy-violet thrill
For deep, blue, welkin vaults

For pastel-pink of blossom tulle
For sunbeam’s golden kiss
For all the Ways of Wonderful
Spring weighs our gaze with bliss

In beauty of both earth and sky 
In heaven-hints unfurled
Without reserve, from God on high 
To all the wooing world

Isa.40:22
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth;
its dwellers are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

…for yellow frill of daffodil



For deep, blue, welkin vaults


For all the Ways of Wonderful
Spring weighs our gaze with bliss
