Glisten -- morning sun
Lights the soft blooms and
Twinkles in the pines.
Listen - is that a
Mourning Dove's sad, soft cooing --
Pining for love lost?
Brave Miss Yves translates...
luis-lueur de l'aube
Eclairant les fleurs
brillant dans les pins
Ouïs:est-ce le
Chant de deuil d'une colombe
Pleurant son amour ?
Eclairant les fleurs
brillant dans les pins
Ouïs:est-ce le
Chant de deuil d'une colombe
Pleurant son amour ?

This was beautiful. The pictures were all great. Nice shots.
G(Listen) .. aaaaah!
i agree...a beautiful place you got there...stopping to listen...this morning there are quite a few brids serenading me out on the back porch...
Especially love the Mourning Dove - great shot!
Beautiful, Vicki! Our Crepe Myrtles are not yet in bloom. I always look forward to their showy presence! I love the shimmering beauty you've captured!

Lovely!
Thanks, folks -- I just loved the way the light did in those first two pics and the word'glisten' kept running through my head.
"Such a lovely word; now what shall I do with it?"
And then I saw the 'listen' embedded in it.
And even as I put the poem together, playing with the repetition of the words/homonyms, I thought, "Oh dear, how WILL Miss Yves deal with this?"
But I see she has. I shall have to get my French/English dictionary in order to appreciate what she's done.
Thank you so much, Miss Yves! I do enjoy our game.
Shimmering -- that's another great word!
Beautiful images and words!
I love the French translations, merci to your partner in rhyme! :-)
I tried to capture the morning light at the farmers market today.
Nothing like listening to nature : )
