Andrea Dietrich Poet Triolet

Notes About The Poem

Florida Nature

Where settlers came in search of gold,

they found instead a golden grove.

Trees burst with fruit, for sun is bold

where settlers came in search of gold.

No precious ore, but wealth untold;

rich landscape is the treasure trove!

Where settlers came in search of gold,

they found instead a golden grove.


Inspired by Robert Butler's "Golden Grove"
Written March 5, 2015, for the Florida Nature Contest of Rhonda Johnson-Saunders

Robert Johnson March 8, 2015 at 6:13 AM That was hot and humid with mosquito's. :) Don't mind me, I'm just a miserable Minnesotan who know's this reality all too well in the summer time. :) A very beautifully penned poem Andrea. Andrea Dietrich March 8, 2015 at 9:32 AM I agree, Robert. It's so humid in Florida. I grew up in Iowa next to the mighty Mississippi, so I know all about humidity and mosquitoes.
