Colorado Calls - Do You Like?

Question:Listen to the lark bunting's trill
Colorado calls in the Springtime
Follow the hairstreak butterfly
hop the lavender columbine

Rocky Mountains, ancient canyons
decorate and adorn the land
Pigmented by nature's artists
silhouetted as the sun's hand

Wander the pony express trail
pass blue spruce and the grama grass
Colorado sings in the Springtime
The lyrics, you are home at last.

I won't reiterate what as been said above, they're right, the compliment I will pile upon the heap is this: rhymes and almost rhymes, I quite enjoyed them, it's good to not be afraid to stretch the rhyme to the point of breaking, and it works very well here. Springtime/columbine; grass/last. I liked that quite a bit.

Having lived there for four years, you are making me yearn to return. My favorite season was spring in the the Rockies. Well said.

I've never been to Colorado, but your wonderful poem makes me want to go. The imagery in the poem engages all the senses and your last two verses are poetically amazing.

I live here in Denver and can tell you, you have captured the feeling of spring in the Rockies. Beautifully done. Wow, thats the word that comes to mind.

Beautiful.

I had a giant lavender Columbine around our mailbox.

I talked to the boss (Hubby?). As soon as I fix my PayPal account (long story, kinda' sad) I will process a special order for you.

Makes me want to visit Colorado. Beautiful.

I like the imagery, even though I have never been there I can see. The last line is one I feel every time I am in the forest.

Beautiful. I like.

Absolutely stunning my friend <3
