My world is bright
A myriad of colour
Every shade and hue of green
Beyond my back door.
I contrast in my many blues
But I welcome the reds and the purples
The yellows and the splashes of white
I see within my garden.
A butterfly flutters past
Black and gold wings
Flocks of birds, the colours of nature
Some blending, some prominent
They chorus among the red bottlebrush
Fighting over the dark seed pods
Messing the floor below with
Droppings of their unique kind.
In the cool of the afternoon
We sit among this riot of colour
Your beige giving way
To the eclectic shades
Thrown before us.

What a serene backyard view you have too. Beige hmm reminds me of a joke. Nice colour/nature observations.
Thank you Jenny it’s my ocean view.
Welcome.
I can see your garden well sounds lovely x
Thanks Justine, it’s like that most days.
I love the first line and ‘droppings if their unique kind’ also made me smile. Just two days ago I was looking at a whole lot of purple bird droppings on cement, thinking how pretty they would be if they hadn’t come from an animal’s backside. Lovely poem!
Ha you made me laugh, bird droppings looking attractive. Thanks so much Jessie for your comment.
Looks like a nice place to chill & just absorb nature. 🙂
It is RoSy I’ll show you around one day.
Ah lovely green so serene…some day I shall see too. I the meantime your poem and view will give me hope. Lovely poem, Michael.
Thank you so much Oliana, most days it is like that. Tough eh?
Minus 16 C tonight and snow forecasted BUT today’s Spring feeling will carry me over 🙂
Well about 23C here today, wet but very pleasant. You must have a huge heating bill.
Heat in winter and air conditioner at least 3 months summer…mostly due to allergies. I shd move to california…if only I could.
One day Oliana, one day.
This is lovely Michael joyous =)
Thank you so much, it’s like that most days. My “ocean” view.
Wonderful =) I live in the city so it is all cars, buildings and streetlamps. Though I can say some of the old buildings are gorgeous works of art
I am pretty lucky living where I do.
I think so =)
Beautiful view Michael. So serene, I can see why you call it your ‘ocean’ view. Lovely words to go with the picture. Makes one want to just sit and enjoy.
Thanks Jackie, it’s like that most days.
