Sweet Nectar

WL Schuett

fold back the petals 

moist with first dew 

tempting , inviting 

opening for you 

 

deep down inside 

a life elixir 

dripping , pooling 

daring someone to kiss her 

 

caress the petals 

odoriferous delight 

sweet nectar awaits 

hover , drink 

then take flight

          WL, I love your poem (and the painting) not only because it is so well written, but because it conjures up additional imagery. On one hand there is the bird feeding on the flower and on the other hand there is tender lovemaking, beautifully expressed.

          • WL Schuett

            Exactly the essence of this Fred , thanks a fun poem to write

          • myself and me

            I wish I were the bird who got the elixir of life.
            Beautiful poem fits perfectly with the beautiful paint.

              A marvelous write and painting made for each other. ; )

              You described nature so beautifully. I believe nature is a constant love making. So pure. Your painting is beautiful too.
