Evelyn Judy Buehler Poet Rhyme

Craziest Time In the Woods

As I was walking in the woods, admiring the beauty,
I saw a brook that babbled nonstop, so incoherently,
Humming as I strolled the summertime most fruitfully,
I noticed gay purple hummingdirds, accompanying me!

A meadow revealed yellow butterflies so aptly named,
Swarming in the golden sunshine, wild and untamed,
Enjoying their moment of bliss, before sunset flamed,
Putting an end to the hour, that nature had acclaimed!

Then I saw pretty ladybug, refined and full of grace,
Dancing to enchanted breezes, in Queen Anne's lace.
A sudden sound alarmed me, but it was only a rabbit,
Running like the wind, as if it was customary habit!

And when I turned my head to an emerald green tree,
There sat a blue mockingbird, that was teasing me.
The colorful day wore on, until long shadows finally-
Which I became aware, were now shadowing me constantly!

Indiana Shaw August 25, 2020 at 5:37 PM I don't know with it being a contest if you were held back by the number of lines you could write, Evelyn, but; I could have quite happily read on, and on . . . : ) Evelyn Judy Buehler August 25, 2020 at 8:10 PM That makes me feel just wonderful, Indiana. I do write the long story poems once a week-always couplets. I'm glad you liked this one. Thank you so much. :)

Quoth Theraven August 12, 2020 at 8:36 AM Evelyn, Lovely poem. I enjoy the few hours the forest shares; the sights and sounds. The best of creation found just before shade and shadows reclaim. -Richard Evelyn Judy Buehler August 12, 2020 at 9:43 AM Thank you so much, Richard. Your lovely comment means so much. Blessings. :)
