Kissed With Affection Poem by Ernestine Northover

Kissed With Affection

Rating: 4.8


The mist adorns the nestling hills,
and on the air, one hears the trills,
of the waking birds, as one and all,
give out their melodious morning call.

A hush descends across the scene,
where one can effortlessly glean
a sense of peace and tranquil calm,
a kind of comfort, a kind of balm,
that slowly seeps into one's soul.

And then an adventurous nosy mole,
is glimpsed, emerging from his hole,
in this so quiet and peaceful knoll.

A nest of robins greet the sun,
and paint the day with colours spun,
proudly displaying their blood red breasts,
against the green leaves. Then on the crest
now, is seen the rabbits, venturing abroad,
standing regimental, as with one accord,
they quickly sniff the new and freshening air,
each one alert to trouble, fully aware.

What beauty here, what a fine ethereal view,
kissed with affection by the morning dew.

What a lovely, peaceful poem, Ernestine. Well done. I sat on my porch the other night as dusk came down, and there was a whippoorwill singing his heart out, hearlding the coming night...how beautiful it was! Now, if I could just write a poem like this about that! Good job.
