While On the Hillsides

The hillsides gleam in blazed fanfare Until their blended shadows dim Through cloak of leaves, the ridges wear A softened light from mossy sky To lull the folks resting nearby. And oaks hang low in shades of blue While woodland hums a night’s chorus; Inviting new stars to pursue The marvel of wayfarers’ quest To search hills’ path, by god’s request.

a very pretty and lyrical one on the hillsides, Nette. So nicely done. . I hope to do this theme too. I think triolet would be a good form for it.
