Woodland Hideaway

Tranquility’s quintessence here resides amidst the wild flowers’ fragrant scent. And watching us, a timid rabbit hides behind those shrubs where we have pitched the tent. The streams of light from splendid sun we see are gilded tendrils falling, cutting through sweet smelling needles on each verdant tree. We breathe in pine while relishing this view. Suddenly - the warbling of a bird dulcetly disrupts the quietude. The sound is not like one I’ve ever heard. Mellifluous, it does not break the mood. We linger in this woodland hideaway- blissful- as dusk swallows up the day. Sonnet Form with rhyme scheme: abab, cdcd, efef, gg
