Warm memories
come back to me
of another place in time
I have often thought
of those Summer days
when the sun would always shine
Gathering wildflowers
in the meadows
their fragrance in the air
Walking amidst their beauty
white, soft pink and yellow
colour everywhere
Wearing my old straw bonnet
a rose upon the top
a dress of finest cream calico
a ribbon adorns my hair
Flowers in hand
the bees understand
they are always willing to share
humming a song of happiness
as they buzz throughout the air
This is when I am happiest
days without a care
As I wander on through the meadows
so much beauty everywhere...

This is a very loevely and very visual poem, Dianne. I can imagine myself walking through that meadow .. preferably in Germany or France though. If I was walking through a meadow here I would have my eyes peeled out for snakes.
The bees understand, however do not trust their advice.
I always have this image of me in my mind wearing floral sundress..running freely in a field full of flowers..I don't know when and where it can happen..maybe that's what heaven will look like..and your poem reminds me of that!
Sometimes we remember those moments in life that made us happy.
It is beautiful in a woman with straw hat, walking through a garden of flowers.
I like your thoughts friend Dianne, you write from your heart and I always like.
Have a nice weekend.
a hug.
Beautiful images and words.
Obrigada querida amiga Inês para a sua belas palavras.
Bom Fim de semana!
Beijinhos, Dianne.

Thank you, pleased that you enjoyed my poem dearest Foamy . Yes somewhere in Europe would be preferable as snakes like frequenting meadows here in Summer. This was a long time ago, in the countryside and I still have the dress packed away somewhere. :)

Don't worry Puglsy my sweet, I am careful with the bees, most times they are friendly and other times they don't like you picking their flowers. Thank you for your comment and for your good advice. :)

Thank your dear HLiza you are very sweet, your image of wearing a floral dress and running through a field of flowers sound so lovely ... maybe it will happen one day but until then using your imagination is also a lot of fun.
It would be nice if heaven was like that, no worries, no cares, just peace and beauty. :)

Thank you dear Ricardo for your lovely thoughts, I am so pleased that you enjoy my words.
Yes we do remember those special moments in our life when we are or were happiest.
Walking through a garden or a meadow of flowers is always lovely.
You have a lovely weekend too!
a hug.

Thank you dear J Cosmo , for your kind words.
I found this painting yesterday and it brought back so many happy memories so it inspired this poem.
I am so happy that you enjoyed my words and the images of my experience that I hoped to portray. :)

wandering around the
carpark trying to find my car
i'd definitely be happier wandering with you

Thanks dear /t. , yes, much more pleasant than a carpark ... fragrant flowers, fresh air and lovely vistas instead of concrete pillars and car fumes. :)

Ich wünsche Ihnen einen schönen Tag!

Me encanta tus imágenes y fantasías querido Juan , me puedo imaginar una historia detrás de ellos ... nuestras tierras están lejos sino que une nuestro amor por el arte y la cultura.

well done!!! i did this once for a workshop & posted it; there's a name for writing a poem about a painting; will have to go back & see if i can find it.
Thank you rdlfor your kind comment ... I was actually looking for images of white dresses and found this lovely painting. As soon as I saw the cream dress, the straw hat with the rose and the meadow flowers in the vase it brought back many memories of a time in my life when I was very happy...it is these memories that inspired my poem.
I hope you find your poem.
xoxoxo ♡
LLevas mucha razón,la cultura y el arte son dos motores que unen a muchas personas,pero sobretodo en nuestro caso és la fotografia.
La fotografia me ayuda a divulgar muchos de mis pensamientos,en imágenes.

"the bees understand

Oh- this is so true ♥ Hugs to you friend and thank you for your kind words and warm thoughts in the midst of this difficult time for me. I hope you have a wonderful week!
Thank you dear Mayden , yes the bees do us such a wonderful service with their busy days gathering pollen and cross-pollinating, they give us so much.
I hope that all will be well for you soon, I know it is a difficult time for all, it will be good to get back to some normality; my thoughts are with you and I wish you a happy week.

Nuevamente me dirijo a ti con gratitud por tu constancia en las entradas a mi blog.
Saludo desde éste rincón tan alejado,pero a su vez nos une muy cerca.

Gracias, querido Juan , sí, la belleza y la fantasía de sus fotografías nos conecta. No he tenido la imaginación o la inspiración para escribir un poema hace poco, lamentablemente a veces sucede esto.
Un abrazo querido amigo.

one of my favorites in a long time. I could live happily in your poetic worlds - this page is always a nice respite as you know dear friend, i tend to immerse myself in troubling news....thank you for this. sorry I am late in getting here...you know I have been a traveller.
xo to you. indeed. so much beauty everywhere. tomorrow i will attempt to paint it.
Gracias por su amables comentarios en mi blog querido Juan .
Un fuerte abrazo.

Thank you dearest K9 ,I am so pleased that you like this poem. I am looking to keep my poems light and happy so that this page is a pleasant place to visit and that the images here also reflect some beauty. I am happy to read that you find some respite here, so sweet of you to say so.
I could quite easily live in my world of imagination and the places I create with my poetry; yes some are places from the past, others from inspiration which I find I am missing lately.
I thoroughly enjoyed your photographs and your narrative and observations of the landscape of your recent trip as seen through your eyes and felt by your ability to see beyond the surface, to connect with your surroundings.
I look forward to seeing your paintings.
Love to you sweet girl, Dianne.

Amiga Dianne,según nuestros estados de ánimos intentemos interpretrar aquello que tengamos en nuestras retinas.
Esta vez el fotógrafo quizo ver en la foto,la soledad de un alcohólico.
Poco a poco te estoy introduciendo en mi mundo de elucubraciones.
Abrazos
Hi Dianne,
The gold in your poems pours gently through your words....a golden river!
hugs

Thanks dearest col , such a lovely compliment for my poem, this is the last poem that I have written.
I don't seem to be able to find the words and inspiration at present to write more.
Love and hugs.
Dianne.

Querido amigo Juan , no asociar la botella de vino y la silla vacía con la soledad de un alcohólico ... la silla vacía me recordó a la soledad y la soledad.
Un gran abrazo para ti!
