eerily hanging from the tree.
Silver green epiphyte,
billowing lazily in the breeze.

Such a mystical tapestry,
so it would seem.
Woven gently together,
to be viewed just by me.

Reflections of deep mystery,
stark against the bright Southern sky.
Scenery so very magical, so old indeed.
Nature unfolding her beauty,
right before my eyes. [comments] => 10 [counter] => 162 [topic] => 27 [informant] => deadheadpoet [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => NaturePoetry )

Reflections of deep mystery,

Scenery so very magical, so old indeed.
Nature unfolding her beauty,

I couldn't agree more!

I wish I had written this. I have had similiar thoughts, especially while in Biloxi.

When you see it you think of Bayou's, eerie etc. Yet there is a touch of mystique and romance when you feel that southern breeze and you can't imagine the moss not hanging from the trees.

This is beautiful and now suddenly a picnic basket and a nice summer day is giving me spring fever!

Elegant and a poem to be proud of.

Kie

A wonderful poetic description; and having lived in FL for 11 years, I can vividly see the picture you paint, with your creative words, in my mind.

Well done!
Willofree, Terry

Just beautiful! You've done a wonderful job of describing what is soooo fabulous about spanish moss. I have always, always loved it. I have some really lovely memories of moments beneath moss draped trees...

Thank you for taking me back -

Superb!!
This took me right back to when my daughter and I stayed in Kissimmeee
and visited Green Meadows Petting Farm!
Eerie though it feels, especially in October with all the pumpkins and hi-jinx of Hallowe'en
It is the most spellbinding of nature's beauties whisping from the trees!
Loads of nostalgia here, thank you so much for the trip down memory lane x
