A grand old weather-beaten back porch
Crowns a secluded sanctuary
Of Life Radiant

Where tangled floral rainbows glitter
As buzzing bees skirt butterflies
~all aflutter
And birds poised on coveted perches
~twitter at a rising sun
While scampering squirrels play tag
~midst lushly leggy beanstalks
And croaking bullfrogs serenade
~coyly bashful mates

All this wonderment so transpires
Under the keenly watchful eye
Of a solitary ancient crone
Stooped and bent in her rocking chair
As she guards
~her final nest
To the last
Breath

Break out the champagne! We'll drink it out of Dixie cups...porch sitters...bedknobs hot to the touch...broomsticks blush in the night watching cattails burst and the other Cat Tails...neck...you know that little sensitive spot just behind your
ear...wh....e.....w...blowing air between my lips that sexy way that I do...everything off but the jewelry...sunrise...

I've always loved sitting on a porch, absorbed in all of Nature's gifts.

Delightful counterbalance of the "zest for life" and the "hanging on to life" that is wonderfully mutually sympatico here, Carolyn. Interesting form and style which suits your content well. TY Kate xx

Terrific poem, as lush with life and imagery as rain forest. That portrait of the crone on spiritual guard over her corner of nature's kingdom until the very end is, I think, a priceless one. Thank you for sharing the vision.
