Bee my Valentine "Blueberry Banter & Blueberry Blues"

Bee my Valentine "Blueberry Banter & Blueberry Blues"

d8161db0.png

Blueberry beginnings and Blueberry ends,

A Valentine verse for my family and friends,

A blueberry poem, I write as I should,

Blue-writing is funny and funny is good!

This poet tried writing with blueberry style,

The writing was fun … the writing brought smiles!

Valentines, like berries, are chosen with care,

Nurtured and treasured, love-ventures to share,

Blue is the berry that turns love to true.

This rhyme is for giving … I’m giving to you.

What Valentine gift for my Valentine friends?

A Valentine memory, I’ve not much to spend,

We’ll go to a restaurant called

“Blue Berry Wishes”

A most special treat … full of blueberry dishes

To get there we ride on The Blue-berry Train.

And wonder of wonders … we see blue-tinted rain!

On the mountains we marvel at berry-blue snow,

We see blueberry-clusters and blueberry-rows,

They’re bluer than blue these berries we see,

They stop and we pick them with glorious glee!

In this blueberry Heaven, every thing’s free!

This bounty of berries makes beautiful dishes,

I can see why they call it “Blue Berry Wishes.”

A blueberry breakfast or blueberry lunch,

A blueberry supper or blueberry brunch,

There’s blueberry this and blueberry that,

Our eyes can’t believe a berry-blue cat!

This feline is friends with blue-birds and blue-jays,

Tis merry and mystery … what more can we say?

There’s blueberry more and blueberry most,

Our berry-blue waiter and most merry host,

Sent blueberry wine for our Valentine toast

Blueberry chocolate or blueberry mousse,

Blueberry truffles with berry-glazed goose,

Or simmering, succulent blueberry stew,

A savory dish, my favorite … it’s true ;~)

At home, perhaps I can make it for you?

Blueberry bagels with blueberry jam,

Blueberry biscuits with berry-soaked ham,

Blueberry pancakes with blueberry sauce,

What fun to cook berries … to stir and to toss!

Blue-bubble cones and blue-blasting pops,

I can only eat those in my blueberry socks ;~)

Banana-blue splits topped with berries are hits,

I love about berries - they don’t have those pits.

Blueberry pies and blueberry cakes,

Blueberry blizzards and blueberry shakes,

If I eat all of this my tummy will ache!!!

Blueberry muffins with blueberry cream,

I must put an end to this blueberry dream!!!

I send Valentine wishes to family and friends.

I am sad to convey that my poem must end.

I had a berry-good time with this Blueberry verse!

This blueberry babble … I need to rehearse,

I’ll read to my Valentines this Blueberry greeting,

And then we’ll be off for our Valentine meeting.

If you were the writer, which “blue” would you chose?

I hope the “child” in you … enjoys this blue-berry adventure ;~) It was inspired by my love of Dr Seuss books and the goodness of blueberries ;~)

Please share it with your children/grandchildren … create one of the Blueberry Wishes dishes ;~)

February 10th 2020 Valentines Wishes for the Fellowship of Bees

I write: “In His Light”~ Fay Vietmeier

If my words make you think … Great ;~)

As “iron-sharpens-iron” … I enjoy bantering with other BEES … your feedback is as “honey”

A glimpse of the “Bee” called “me” ;~)

My caring nature makes me an advocate. My curious nature makes me a “queen of questions” … but gifted with the ability to listen ;~) I am a woman of deep faith, a blessed mother, a voracious reader, a blossoming writer, a grateful person, and a lover of beauty … I treasure family, true friendships and my loyal clients ... enjoy traveling, learning, good movies, good wine and golf. I’m a “heart-to-heart” communicator.

I've just shared this with @Ken Boddie on his recent Valentines piece. 

I found this quote in my daily paper today.

She bath'd with roses red and  violets blew and all the sweetest flowres that in the forest grew.

It's from Edmund Spencer's The Faerie Queene

Fay I found this in today's Times.  Pun of the day. Punster Simon Blackwell  notes his local Indian Resturant was offering a special dish for romantic vegans of spice-roasted cauliflower, and remarks " it's St Valentine's Day Brassica"

Preston \ud83d\udc1d Vander Ven Oh Preston ... I love your rich observation Reading poetry aloud is something I often do and My mindset was toward children & Dr Seuss ... who I LOVE And I LOVED reading Dr Seuss books to my son when he was a child (now 22) The musical alliteration & repetition is contagious & memorable ;~) Thank you for the "sweet sharing" of my blueberry writing ;~)

Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee I agree Ali ... most people read poetry not accompanied with a dictionary An uncommon word artfully applied is art Simplicity in poetry intended for children ... including BIG kids should be "musical" ... making it memorable ;~) Appealing to be read again & again

Amazing- so you entered a contest of fruits. Surprising for me because my suggestion was born true. working on expanding this into (what I hope) will be a children's book (we'll see please do dear Fay Vietmeier. Honestly, you are a talented poet. I love the simplicity of your lyrics. I read poetry now and then for I seek their music. But when I have to find the meaning of many difficult and uncommon words I run away from their noise. Keep it simple as you do my friend.

Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee Thank my dear Professor ... for reading & responding and enjoying the "music" ... for that was the intent Dr Seuss books which I loved when my son was a child had this "music" I actually did write this for contest a Blueberry Counsel but they did not choose it (?) ... blindness abounds ;~) Which is fine ... I have learned to submit to decisions knowing there is HIGHER purpose ... and that purpose will be revealed in the Right time ... I'm slowly working on expanding this into (what I hope) will be a children's book (we'll see) "Blue-thinking" takes time ;~)

All I can say this poem is sheer music dear Fay Vietmeier. If I was to trade in fruits I would recruit your services to write a short poem on each fruit. You are a poet-of-nature
