Buttercup Sun Day
When things look down,
Look up;
That's a yellow buttercup
Hanging in the sky,
A welcome to an eye
Attuned to looking down,
Where every smile's a frown,
And every lifted brow
Becomes a worried scowl.
Better up, my friend,
Than down, for in the end,
It's up where solace lies --
It's hanging in the skies.

This poem is as light and bright as a buttercup, a very encouraging write.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely buttercup poem... it shines.
ReplyDeleteI think you need to post the link again in Poetry Jam because your link didn't show up.
Happy sunny day ~
Lovely! It's so true that looking up offer so much more solace than looking down.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to agree with Unknowngnome. There is encouragement here and people do need that more than ever now, that and hope. Nicely said Karen.
ReplyDeleteawww, it's so pure and lovely as most, if not all, your poems are.
ReplyDeletewe need to be reminded of things like this, time and again.

I'm afraid the Jam links are still dodgy - Blogger is unhappy with them... Good luck with sorting them out, and thanks for the buttercup sunshine here!
ReplyDeleteKaren, this poems's as refreshing as your bright yellow buttercup. Lovely!!
ReplyDeleteJust be careful not to rub the great buttercup in the sky on your chin. ;)
