Steemit Monthly Author Challenge #4-2019 - Day 7 || Poetic day
#Monthlyauthorchallenge initiated by @steemit-mac
From time to time we have to turn towards poetry as a source of inspiration. Even though I'm not a romantic type of person, some days I feel the need to read/listen to lyrics.
Today was one of those days and I stumbled upon a beautiful poem written by John Shaw Neilson, To A Blue Flower.
I would be dismal with all the fine pearls of the crown of a king;
But I can talk plainly to you, you little blue flower of the Spring!
Here in the heart of September the world that I walk in is full
Of the hot happy sound of the shearing, the rude heavy scent of the wool.
Soon would I tire of all riches or honours or power that they fling;
But you are my own, of my own folk, you little blue flower of the Spring!
I was around by the cherries to-day; all the cherries are pale:
The world is a woman in velvet: the air is the colour of ale.
I would be dismal with all the fine pearls of the crown of a king;
But I can give love-talk to you, you little blue flower of the Spring!
Check out the challenge started by me and @erikah, SeasonChallenge. We would love to learn about your impressions towards the Spring (these being the theme until 3rd of June).
