Melissa,
This looks like the perfect place to read a book on an sunny Summer day.
It is a beautiful field of wild flowers. It would be a great place to write too.
I recognized the artwork as a Monet.
Congrats on winning the contest.
Keepw writing and stay heatlhy

This is an excellent entry for the minute poem contest.
I love the picture and how it sits perfectly with the poem.
The minute rhyming itself allows the reader to feel lazy and at ease, wanting to be under the same umbrella reading a good book. Ahh, smell that fresh air. Enjoy the six shower.

This minute poem, Languid Ease, has the proper formatting and creates a lovely scene where the free-floating flora spores help to lull the observer into a morning nap. Nice.

Very nicely rhymed, with a meter that is calming and soothing as well. I admire your choice of image to illustrate the quiet mood of this poem. Thank you for sharing both the image and poem here with us.

You are lulling me into a delicious sleep, Melissa. Your poem is not boring of course. It's just that your rhythm, rhyme, and word choices are peaceful. Heavenly even.
This is beautiful. Another winner in my eyes.

Hi Sweet Debbie. I hope you are well. I told my husband about your story of the oil rigs at dinner last night. Since we both have had new glasses recently, we got a chuckle over your dilemma and the pirate ship. LOL. So cute. Thank you for your lovely review and the stars, my friend.

Hi Melissa, I simply loved your Minute poem. It not only had such wonderful imagery but the rhythm is wonderful, as well. Your poem also goes so well with the picture.
It's the best I've read so fat for the contest. Ulla:)))

Hello Ulla. Thanks so much. I had a difficult time matching a photo/art to my verse until I saw this work by Monet... just knew in an instant that they belonged together... thanks so much, Ulla!!!

Beautiful, Melissa. Perfect portrayal of those "lazy hazy days of summer". Although here in Virginia we'd have to be protected by bug spray and straw hats!
Impeccable metre and excellent rhyming allow the grace notes of your imagery to soar in the reader's mind.
In the first stanza, "noon/afternoon" works as a rhyme. But since this is a contest entry you might want to play with it. Or not. It's your choice of course.
Best of luck in the contest and kudos on placing in the sonnet competition.
Stay safe and blessed
Julia

Thank you Julia, I am delighted you liked it and will look at that rhyme scheme of noon/afternoon.
We also live in Virginia ~ Chester, just south of Richmond. I know what you mean about that bug spray... LOL

We're in Falls Church, near DC. The gnats are still asleep. For now. Last year my daughter in law was talking about getting bats. Talk about the cute being worse than the disease!!! LOL
