…our childrens’ joy is as fresh as roses,
Even the birds chatter at dawn.
Tomorrow will be sharp and noisy,
Like the bright spotted splash of wild flowers
That freckle the shaded tawny look of ancient meadows.
How stubborn life is,
It clings like silver in our souls.
From Selected Poetry
Particularly love your line, “Even the bird chatter at dawn”. Great image!
Scott, you are a kindred spirit….
You write about the things I feel.
I’ve enjoyed reading your poetry, very much!
Keep dreaming….keep writing….keep communicating.
Very nice! Fascinating indeed.
The seasonal pictures match the poetic messages of each stanza and reflect universal messages that are both temporal and philosophical.
beautiful poem… thanks for sharing and shining xo
Incredible! That was a very good read. Someone who really thinks, feels and understands what they are writing about. Quite difficult to find of late, especially on the web .
Serene… Beautiful bounties of nature! Regards
Scott, your web site is incredibly appealing. It reminds me of the embrace I felt when I visited the Cotswolds, and I look forward to browsing your blog.
“When I write, I am looking to speak to your soul.” – That’s very lovely. You have a great site Scott. God bless you.
‘How stubborn life is, it clings like silver in our souls’ Lovely!
Scott, some lovely phrasing here. I especially like “tomorrow will be sharp and noisy”, at times it is, but I only hope for less of an edge. Very nice work.

What a lovely, light poem that also makes you think from within. 🙂
Aah..beautiful…You speak to that place inside of me where my light lives…thank you Scott
Scott, I really like the line “it clings like silver in our souls.” I do wonder if life is as stubborn as we are, however, to keep the silver in our souls? Just a thought.
I enjoy your site and your poems. They are very much of light, roses, bird songs, children–“silver in our souls.”
All best,
Bonnie

“How stubborn life is,

Překrásné, velmi hluboké básně. Vím, překlad do češtiny, není dokonalý, ale i tak vnímám hlubokou krásu v nich. Děkuji Vám za to, milý Scoot. Obohatil jste mě. Nadále budu se velkým zájmem i s radostí číst Vaší poezii. Ještě jednou děkuji a klaním se před Vámi. Jste VELKÝ BÁSNÍK.
