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

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 10/26/2019 7:30:00 AM 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.

John Fleming Date: 10/21/2019 2:50:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Brenda Chiri Date: 10/21/2019 5:08:00 PM Thank you John you are so sweet! Country isn't bad at all!;)

Gershon Wolf Date: 10/20/2019 11:41:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Brenda Chiri Date: 10/20/2019 1:30:00 PM 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!;)
