About the Meadow

Listen to the billowing wind The cool oak tree’s shadow Renew while sauntering in And gaze about the meadow Watch the daisies dancing Birds and bees romancing Radiant sun enhancing Beauty about the meadow Oh how it warms your heart Soothing and healing you start Pondering that you are a part Of the bliss about the meadow Jumping, skipping, frolicking free Laughing and rejoicing that you see That soon you are about to be Wandering about the meadow Suddenly dark clouds appear Rumbling thunder and lightning you hear Startling you as rain draws near Trouble about the meadow Off to the barn you run and hide It’s cold, damp and musty inside Patiently there you wait beside The storm about the meadow An hour later the rain stopped You wonder, has the storm dropped? You opened the door and out it popped The sun about the meadow Oh, lovely and fresh the smell The ambience makes your heart swell Capturing your heart that’s dying to tell Your adventure about the meadow

Dear John, I adore how each stanza brings about a different facet of the meadow while being anchored by the beautiful and evocative refrain: "about the meadow". Your vivid imagery and use of emotion brings me to the center of this natural scene to experience the wonders "about the meadow". A poetic wondrous feast for the senses and the spirit! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Dear Susan, Wow! I can tell by your comments that you are a gifted writer. It makes me want to read more of your work. It's rewarding to learn how others experience my poems as you so eloquently expressed. I like "poetic wondrous feast..." you should put that in a poem. Thanks for your kind comments. Blessings ~ John

John, this is a lovely poetic depiction of the storms and sunshine of life, using vivid nature imagery. I enjoyed your use of "about the meadow" as a motif in each ending line and your rhymes in the 3 lines leading up to it. The last stanza is especially joy-filled. Welcome to Poetry Soup, I hope you find it a welcoming place of support and poetic friendship ~ John
