Special Feature Collaborative Poem--By Peggy Dugan French and ayaz daryl nielsen--United States

whom wonders embrace

By Peggy Dugan French and ayaz daryl nielsen

badger-bearded, sparrow-winged trail guides
wind quietly whispering, taking in the view
cherry blossoms and birdsong across a meadow
a lone hawk gliding overhead
melodies from ancient trumpets
sprinkling over the misty valley
five small raccoon behind their mother
scurrying ahead of me on the trail
an older us whom wonders embrace
fresh scent of pine stirring memories
retelling the magnificence
of all that has come before

    Welcome to Whispers Peggy. I really enjoyed your collaborative poem Peggy and ayaz. The imagery was wonderful and put me in mind of my own nature walks when vacationing in the pines with my family when I was a girl. I loved the seamlessness that made the "trip" down memory lane so lovely for me. Thank you for your talents shared with us here on Whispers. I will look forward to reading more.
    Love, Charlene

    "That fresh scent of pine." Exactly. This one is wonderfully refreshing - all the colors, animals and mystique. Love, Dave
