Lara's Southern Porch Party & Poetry

Burning

Bluebells
Explode with Spring,
As the robins dance
Crazed on green.
From within
The tree girl sits,
Braiding spider silk
To net the sun,
Burning, in the morning.

When I wrote this poem, I challenged myself to express , in musical metaphors, the connection of two lovers, separated only geographically (on separate distant shores...east coast and west coast), and to show that love transcends distance and the differences in their lives now…and memories keep their passion alive..

Great poem Lara, thanks! It helped me picture the teleportation of an "encrypted" song over the wires, where it's fragments and vibrations are reassembled and played whole again! These two "Coast to Coasters", also made me think of .....The Coasters. Before there was the "Bling"....there was the ZING!

Shalimar, nice poem! I love the bluebells, the spring, robins, and green, silk, sun, the morning, etc.…great images for our "southern porch party & poetry"! Thank you for posting it for us to enjoy! Just a tip about your signature, you always have 48 hours to edit your post but don't worry since your name is in the upper left of your post. You can still add it if you want though.

meanderer…very clever meshing coasters and music to delight us with your humor and some fun entertainment as well. I don't remember those low voices…cool.

You are all so very talented. Love the poetry. Meanderer, your graphic responses never stop amazing me. You must have a magic search engine.
 
Howdy Y'all!

Well, "butter my biscuits!" While I was playing peek-a-boo around the palm trees, I almost missed the entertainment on the porch! Thank you meander, carry on :) Nice soothing summer's eve music by the Porch Party Records. I'll be back with some poetry after I listen to some more music while I relax on the porch swing.

our hearts and minds

“Sometimes it's the same moments that take your breath away
that breathe purpose and love back into your life.”

This video is beautiful relaxing music that plays for 3 hours.
I listened to it this morning as I pruned my plants and flowers out in the sunroom:

^meander, that warms my heart just looking at it ^

On the porch's sunny side
Icy sweet tea satisfies
Gentle breezes, skirts it teases
Tune the band and take my hand
Come let's dance! Jazz perchance?

^ I grinned the whole time I watched this, meanderer. So endearing and fun. Pure unadulterated music. No frills.
Question: The lady in the back…what instrument is she playing?? Looks like a siphon of sorts.

Here's some more porch entertainment. No frills except that pearl embellished (or abalone shell?) guitar neck…NICE :cool:

I don't know how you do it. I looked high and low for some jammin on porches and it's nearly impossible. So many instruments on that little porch. Good one!
 
Here is a poem which I wrote for Nona.

Wings: For The Luminous Lady

Every time I look at you
I feel the brush of wings,
Angels in the morning
And the silent bird that sings.
Dancing in my gypsy-blue
On the burning-green of light,
I trust the flaming feathers
That your smile has set to flight.
