Today’s prompt is from Read Write Poem member Catherine who provided the contents for today’s prompt, a Wordle.
Katydid and cicada symphonies
reverberate in the trees.
One crow caws a solo on the breeze;
His choir absent at the roadkill emporium
down the street…their fierce squall echoes
in the distance.
Deep blue sky cradles cloud creatures –
their passing makes me dizzy.
Tendrils from our saffron rose caress
the cast iron pump, inhaling beads of moisture;
concealing the rust that peppers the silver base.
Long grasses rustle and I flinch,
praying the intruder is more friend than foe.
Closer inspection reveals a tiny field mouse
more startled than I.
We part friends.
I marvel at the choreography I see –
All of nature involved in a splendid dance
around me.
I find comfort in knowing this dance will go on…
Today…
Tomorrow…
Eternity…

How I love your word combinations... and what makes them even more delectable is the time I spent in Montana last Summer.
Lush!
THANK YOU for the memory and for the brand NEW experience of the memory through your poem!

Thanks for your comments, Julie! I loved your poem also. What part of Montana did you visit?
Oh, Montana...so beautiful. You had a ready landscape to put these lovely words to! I loved reading this.
