Poets United prompt #38 involves a quote, I chose, "Patience is a virtue"~
This proverb has been traced back to 'Piers Plowman' (1377) it was first written in latin... Maxima enim..patientia virtus
This proverb has been traced back to 'Piers Plowman' (1377) it was first written in latin... Maxima enim..patientia virtus
Whispers of illusion
Paints its memory in fog
Clouds of grief cackle n’ clap, sparks fly
As heat dances across the angry sky
Morning dew freshens Mother Earth’s thirst
Painted Ladies flirt, above the marigolds n’ everlastings
Summer’s treasures ebbs n’ flow, in tidal pool.
Soon we'll kiss endless balmy skies good-bye.
Last rose of summer fades in an orange haze
Sun washed bee wax scents the autumn wind
Dawn’s design leaves lingers of lies
Flamed trees embrace the Indian summer’s breeze
Mood barometer is fickle
Bewitching day arrives with dizzy frenzy
Screaming bare branches, soon scratch windows,
Howling nights leave chills up one’s spine
Hibernation arrives in lingering dreams
Solitude blankets Earth
Stillness slows society,
Snow drops poke out and say Hello
Clouds burst, illusion awakens crushed pine needles
Forest filtered light stays longer,
Kite flying days in endless sky, etches Spring break
Cherry blossoms drop confetti cheer
Cadence flirts, makes the journey on its own time.
Patience is a virtue~.

Have a lovely day.

The line 'Kite flying days in endless sky...' brought back memories of when I was a child and we would sit for hours in the fields below the castle, flying our kites. They were amazingly beautiful days. The best.
Thanks for the memories. :-)
