Carefree and Simple

CAREFREE AND SIMPLE my daily fancy i’d love to live on a farm in hilly country mountain peaks in the distance the animals all carefree then a further thought we’d have a good fishing pond oh, not a huge lake just large enough to boat, swim, and ice skate in the winter central to the spread this cozy, two-story house with a sitting porch white picket fence surrounding and willows, elm, and maple barn all painted red ladder-climb to the hayloft horses in their stalls one big upper story door for sitting on moonlit nights neighbors not too far but scattered among the hills with a steeple church modern, not gothic or weird but emblem of good feeling and these final thoughts – a big Saturday night dance in the county hall smart looking gal on my arm just hear those hoe-down fiddles!

Dear Daver, this poem took me on such a lovely journey back to a simpler life and time. Don't catch any fish without me! I'll tackle them if I have to. LOL I didn't write any new poetry. Soup admin just chose an old one to put in their featured poems. Thanks for reading it though. Love and blessings, Carolyn
