Fishing
 

                     Under the shade of an out of the way Weeping Willow 
                                     with its branches hanging low
                                      As a little boy then the man
                                 I sit in peace, with serene feeling
                                                 Of heavenly nature
                                         A mist of the tall green grass,
                            delightful colors, of mix white, yellows, purples
                                  wild flowers and wild blackberries grow
                        I watch as the butterflies dance around the wildflower
                                     and listen to the sounds of the birds
     A slight breeze through the trees sends seduction natures smells to intoxicate
            In my blue overalls, straw hat, fishing pole, and a can of earth worms
                                 Fishing in the cool, clear stream watching
           trout jump up to feed on dragon flies bouncing off the mirrored stream

                                     Utilizing my daylight time fishing
                                Instead of undertaking a day’s endeavor
 
                                                     2/19/2015

Oh for Pete's sake, I meant to say Eve, not John! I think my dyslexia is getting worse. Now I am transposing words, sorry.
