Dazzling Emblem Of Love #photoprompt

Ok, dear sweet hearts, I prepared for you a 6-lined Gogyohka, which I wrote
specifically for Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge No. 281 at Word Craft, where
the photo to inspire us is provided by Willow this week for Ekphrastic poetry.

It’s a lovely photograph, but after spending way too much time trying to add
the photo to this post, I’m giving up and adding one of my own from pixabay.
Sorry, Willow and Colleen.

I’ll still add it to Mr. Linky as I intend. Please let me
know if I’m best to take it elsewhere.

heavy and drowsy
like a field of clover
under the July sun
with the bees abuzz
and the black-eyed Susans
in worship of the sun

Happy Summer 2022, everyone. Please don’t forget to count your blessings.

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed my words and photograph.

      It is beautiful. You know that I used it in place of the week’s photo prompt photo I couldn’t get to work for me. It was very late when I was trying to do that then chose the easy Pixabay way out. Was gonna try again but now I might just leave it as is.
      Si glad it spoke to you, Cheryl.
      Blessings. Happy Summer…

    Hi Selma I really love your Gogyohka and the photo it is amazing, is it somewhere in Europe. You have caught the essence of the statue and the prompt, very clever.💜

    Everytime I water my raised garden and see the bees… I thank them. I’ve gotten enough cucumbers to have paid for the plant! 😉

    With the house in disarray, I’ve not gotten to reply to your last letter. I hope to work on it soon – Thank you!!

    1. Selma Martin

      No pressure, dear one. Summers are for spending days daydreaming. I bless you.

        Looking up at the sky (while traveling) I was playing ‘What shape is that cloud’ – I saw a koi fish and thought of you 🙂

        1. Selma Martin

          Aww. Made me smile. I’m thinking of you now too. Stay sweet.

Thanks for stopping. Comments mean the world to me. Won't you please leave one?
