Behind My Back

BEHIND MY BACK On a bright balmy summer day, The languid lake called me away For backstroke... I jumped in the waters shallow, Where I saw that pink rose mallow As backdrop... As I was enjoying swimming, The green grown grass called for trimming, My backyard... I set to the task when I heard Sweet singing of a cuckoo bird In background... After which I took a slow stroll Upwards till that Norwegian knoll Through backwoods. 16.05.2020

Jo, your root word was an excellent choice for expanding the horizon of what you could write about, and it came out as a very lovely summer day. Congratulation on your win in the contest, my friend ~ John

wow, I love yours. You chose your word "back" very well. Wish I had thought of using something more adaptable like the word back for when I did mine.
