Bring summer flamboyance untamed merging,

not a dance between air's trembling touch;

but yellow and cream gathering in June,

 

delighted to climb and amble; enticing

transformation from flora's presence,

winding splendour creeping across

garden latticework.

 

Moments of sweet scent lingers while

earth lies hushed...yet never sleeping, just

encompassing existence of roots that with

confidence hang out with crawlers,

 

strands pop out of tubular trumpets,

spindly colourful legs that resemble

spiders staking their claim; they too

have a role to play,

 

at night moths take comfort in

transmission, like a happening

with no music, just silent interplay;

winged insects lapping up fragrance,

for tomorrow's nectar may soon be gone.

"a happening with no music" wow that's brilliant :0) Your honeysuckle is way ahead of ours, no colour showing at all yet

Hi insert, I'm very glad you enjoyed this poem, it was inspired by a very early morning walk around the garden. Like you say the fragrance is amazing.

Over the moon with the cherries, they made my day. Thank you so much...and for your comment too.

Hello Di,

you will have that fragrance of honeysuckle when ours is over. It's strange how flowers seem to bloom at different times, even in our own garden and neighbours too, I suppose it depends on which way the flowers are facing.

Glad you liked that piece about the happening, I just thought of all those flying insects coming together to enjoy the nectar of these flowers, I know moths can't get enough of honeysuckle.

Thank you for reading and letting me know you enjoyed.

You have drawn an enchanting picture of your garden full of the fragrance of honeysuckle. I am really impressed by the lyricism that you inject in your poetry, Jenny. 
You have become quite a bard.

Hi Luigi,

glad you enjoyed this poem. I have to admit that since I joined abc tales, I've learnt so much, which has made it such a pleasure writing.

I'm grateful for your comment, because it means a lot to know I'm improving. Thank you so much.

By the way, our honeysuckle is looking a bit bedraggled and the flowers have almost gone, but they were beautiful while they lasted.

Thanks again.

Jenny. xx
