In the Grass Among Green Splendor

Along a fence and out into a field I amble; seduced by a tree surrounded by flowers, I stroll toward a small hill. Gentle is this grassy slope redolent of sweet birch and the wildflowers birthed from fertile earth. I’m at ease as my eyes embrace a valley extending endlessly with emerald enchantment. Nature’s nakedness is lush! Auspicious day! All around me is the ambiance of spring and scent of grass where sheep now graze. Gathering sun’s rays, Nature glistens, for she’s become radiant from her recent rendezvous with Rain! As Sun in azure sky arrives with all his ardor, sparrows sing in my shady tree, soothing me. Sanguine is my soul as I lie down in the grass amidst green splendor. Written March 1, 2016 for Anthony Biaanco's "In the Grass" Contest

I had to read it four times because I could swear it rhymed, then I thought it's written in verse, maybe it's a sonnet. Even in free verse your poetry flows like a skilled skater dancing ballet on ice. Smooth! A Fav!

Thanks for taking us on this splendid nature walk. You should see our back yard. It is a wildlife refuge, all overgrown with ground cover and a giant tree where God's creatures live. Love, daver
