A Poem Is…
A giggling brook
Sliding over moss covered emerald stones
Among forest giants bowing their boughs
In appreciation and wonder
A gentle swan
Gliding on the glassy surface
Of a serene woodland pond
A spectacular dawn
Resplendent with multicoloured hues
Among angel clouds
Ditto a sunset
A placid sea
Its roaring whisper gentle
In the rising tide of midnight
Reflecting a golden pregnant moon
A skein of geese
High overhead in autumnal sapphire sky
Urging each other on
Resolute and sure
From eons of ritual
A sea of wheat
With golden waves undulating
Under the waning amber sun of late summer
A poem is all of these and so much more
There are not enough words to express in verse
The wonders of this world and life
But the culmination
The recognition
The poem I am thinking of is
You my lovely love
You punctuate each one
And eclipse all of these wonders
For you are the quintessence
Of all my poetry

The "culmination" is no surprise, coming from your pen, but nevertheless is lovely.

Aside from your limericks, one of your best.

...The wonders of this world and life."
