A Hilltop Frolic

picnic on a hill
swept by summer's breeze
birds float by with ease
joy among the blooms
old fashioned perfumes

green everywhere
gold in our hair
soft bluebell skies
and whim's surprise

cardinals
hue rivals
love jewels

good times 
wind chimes

grass

Sounds like a pastoral summer day enjoying nature's sights, sounds, and aromas. Beautifully written, Evelyn, makes me want to pack a picnic lunch and join you. Warm congrats on your #1 win ~ John

Thank you so much for your kind thoughts, John. I am so glad you enjoyed this. A picnic like this is not nearly as much fun alone. C'mon! :D

This poem is outstanding Evelyn! I adore wind chimes. My husband made me two different sets one large and one smaller. The larger almost sounds like Church bells. Congratulations on your wonderful deserving first place win. Blessings xxoo
