Dipping and Sipping

The buzzing bee into the flower dips
And from her luscious nectar fondly sips.

Dew-Drenched Rosebud

This dew-drenched rosebud
Ignites in me a fire
Hard to extinguish.

~ Poetictouch

A Simple Cottage

A simple cottage
On a calm secluded hill:
Here contentment dwells.

~ Poetictouch

Blooming Tuberose

Blooming tuberose,
With your enticing fragrance,
Revitalize me!

~ Poetictouch

A Lovely Summer Rose

Shall I compare you
To a lovely summer rose?
You’re far more lovely!

The Sick Rose

O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

~ William Blake

Solitude

When from our better selves we have too long
Been parted by the hurrying world, and droop,
Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired,
How gracious, how benign, is Solitude.

~ William Wordsworth
