A Thousand Hues

The hillsides grow a thousand hues

Of  vibrating, perfect flowers

Emboldened by the shining dews,

Enlivened by honeyed showers.



Glowing buttercups swing and sway,

Shining with sunny golden glow.

Queen Anne's Lace in fancy array

Waves in delicate snowy show.



Blue cornflowers reflect the skies,

Tall grasses raise their bearded heads,

Cowslips gaze at the butterflies,

Daylilies cluster -  bright redheads.



The wind whispers, quite wantonly,

Sweet nothings - stirring reaction.

Grinning sun stretches certainly

Anticipating distraction.



Pastoral scene, blessed by Nature;

Nectar flowing in drops so sweet.

Singing glories vibrate colour,

Hills and vales resound - joy complete.
