"Sweet Nectar"

A Villanelle

By Pamela Walsh-HoltePublished 6 months ago 1 min read

The wildflower's sweet nectar they seek

these butterflies, bumble bees, and hummingbirds

A kaleidoscope of color against the golden hue of the creek

they dance a dance not meant for the meek

such a seductive story they tell

The wildflower's sweet nectar they seek

yellow jackets, dragonflies, and an occasional ladybug complete

a garden party amongst their peers, creating

A kaleidoscope of color against the golden hue of the creak

I watch in wonder when suddenly I am weak

as they gather the strength of their numbers

The wildflower's sweet nectar they seek

their beauty I could never compete

innocent of their splendor

The wildflower's sweet nectar they seek

A Kaleidoscope of color against the golden hue of the creek

nature poetry
