Country Girl True

Laying here upon the damp grass Looking about at the cattails On a breeze the weeping willow trees musky sweet, spicey smells Silver threads weave through the nights skies while reflecting off the turquoise colored lake with misquotes buzz interjecting The moon a crescent shape sits proud way up above so high Soon the sound of an owl flies overhead as I smile with a sigh The beauty here on this night in the quiet of this country setting view Makes me wonder why I ever left Country girl at heart I am true

Lovely, expressive poem, Brenda. This urban boy is loving this country girl's poetry. Keep the pastoral flow peacefully moving in your soul, lady. And in the beautiful words of Corinne Drewery, the velvety-voice singer in Swing Out Sister: "If I had the heart to tell you, would you have the strength to go? And if you don't want to tell me, I don't need to know." This poem is an instant fave. Love and more love always.

There is nothing better I would think than a good ol country girl...and living a good ol country life at that as well. Lovely, Brenda! Lots and lots of warm thoughts this chilly night. :) john

Lovely done, Brenda! Brings a smile to my face, as was a 'farm boy' in Israel too many years ago. Wasn't quite as romantic a life-scene, as you've pictured, but the pace was slower, for the most part, and there were those magic moments of Nature, esp. sunrise riding out in the back of a pick-up on the way out to the fields at 4:45 a.m., back in the day (before daylight time). Smiles, Gershon

Nothing like the country life my friend! But for me 4:45 would be a bit too early! I never got up till 5:30 or 6! Thank you so much!;)
