Yellow petals
Discarded from aerial homes
Abandoned to rest
Scattered on a Carpeted lap
Warmed by sunlight
Streaming in through shadows
Sipping droplets
From the ruffled feathers
Of a mother and gooslings
Pecking, picking
Drying in sojourn
Till they join the ebb and flow
Flapping, inviting the petals
Into their fold
On a new journey.
Sprouted from the floating spread
Leave no waving images
Upright in and out
Above and below the surface
In embrace the petals stand
tall
Shimmering
Floating gently or rooted?
An illusion decorated by
wafting aerial shadows
In the backdrop of
Reflections blending in water.
This is wonderful =)
ReplyDeletelove all the nature elements in this...the petals fallen warmed by the sun, the ducks....and i am all for new journeys...smiles.

Loved these lines.
You have written a beautiful poetry and the first one I read twice.
Wonder what it must be like to live in an aerial home ? And the carpeted lap of Mother Earth so appealed.
ReplyDeleteOOOo so sweet, just loved it.....spring time
ReplyDeleteI like the scene of the mother and goslings, I have seen some here in the parks ~
ReplyDeleteNice illusion in the second one, the roots of those lilies are underneath the water ~
Have a lovely week ~
Beautifully expressed Akila! Love the second one!

Steeped in spring - I love the baby goslings.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely written poetry.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images--photographic and poetic!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeletedelightful poetry!
ReplyDeleteAkila, these were both rich with appreciation for nature. The second one, with its floating - lotus plants? - unsure whether they are rooted, is something I've always pondered. But, like the Loch Ness Monster, I really don't care about the truth... let me dream on the possibilities! Lovely. Amy
ReplyDeleteFirst off I would like to say wonderful blog!
ReplyDeleteI had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Thanks!

I liked it, Akila. I thinkg the birds and fowls move those yellow leaves around and throw them nilly-willy with many going to floating places. They are looking for worms and bugs hiding out beneath the leaves.
ReplyDeleteThank you for peeking in on my Monday Link poem. I am very sorry to be so late in returning your nice comment.
