All Wonders Are Free, No Admissions Price


Lord grant me, days in Nature's rainbow hues
Walking among wildlife, searching for clues
Thankful for these very fine hiking shoes
In splendor of morn's new risen sun
This peaceful, calming walk will be fun
Later,  short picnic before I run
To find butterflies fluttering about
In Nature's pleasing joy, no need to shout
Here waters 'aplenty never a drought
Blue lake lies just beyond Oak-tail heights
Flower banks and ducks a graceful sight
Even more beautiful seen by moonlight
Lord grant me, more years in this paradise
All wonders are free, no admissions price.

Andrea Dietrich December 23, 2016 at 7:34 PM what an interesting sonnet form and incredible writing on just enjoying one's life and simple pleasures. You did Peter proud I know he is so good at this theme as well. May you be able to spend years and years enjoying such pleasures, Robert. Merry Christmas to you.

Charlie Smith December 14, 2016 at 10:42 AM New form to me, I likes it.... Robert Lindley December 14, 2016 at 4:42 PM Thank you kindly my friend. I find Peter's knowledge and talent in composing so well in so many poetry forms(both new and old) indicative of his tremendous talent. Thus when I read his brilliant poem written in this sonnet form I just had to give it a go..
