FORTUNE.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Fortune.


A given gem of jewelled morning
is calling to me.
Outside is waiting a diamond-day.

 

Jadest of green reveals affluence
unfolding between
shimmers of crystal dewing each
leafy twig as rise
bluey bells of expensive sapphire.

 

Amazing that emerald opulence
as snowdrop perfection
adorns shy faces in aquamarine.

 

Tiny white eyes of cachéd daisies
vie with gold celandine
embroidering topaz over dun earth.

 

What better resources of treasure
make purses richer
than Spring fortune well searched.

 

Nature's kind urges not to despise
even the smallest
beginnings will find greatest wealth.

    Nature is sure beginning to expose its treasures - it's quite stunning looking out and I'll soon be out there. Mind you I'm helping at a charity rummage sale all day today so I'll not see so much of it. Such an elegant write Fay.

    • Fay Slimm.

      those same treasures will be there tomorrow to gladden you talented heart dear Mike - hope your day at the sale went well and many thanks for dropping by.

        My Dear Fay,

        No signs of spring where I am!
        While reading your poem though, Iā€™ve envisioned...
        ā€œthe flash of emerald as snowdrop perfection adorns its shy petalsā€...
        Your excellent choice of words have painted the perfect picture in my mind...the picture of new beginnings...the picture of Springtime!
        Thank you for sharing !

        ~Laura~

        • Fay Slimm.

          A beautiful picture you have created. Like a delightful picnic I canā€™t wait to indulge in!

            How apt to dub it a picnic and indulge in time spent outdoors - thanks a load Sylvia and hope soon your turn will arrive when Spring delights with plenty of pleasures.
