Evelyn Judy Buehler Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Going, Going, Green

It's a quiet place, beneath a grassy hill,
Where the moonlight spills on whippoorwill.

And flowers of apricot, maroon and mauve,
Crowd the blues and yellows, at sunlit cove.

On a large flat rock, at the watery edge,
I'm at golden hour, feet dangling a ledge,

Scents of sea and summer blended with sun,
Permeate the moments, like sunset visions.

This is my sanctuary, my cove by the sea,
A place of green butterflies and honeybee.

I go there to meditate in the sunlit bliss,
And at times to encounter firefly reminisce!

Often I will sketch the gorgeous scenery, 
Lost to this world in an ocean of greenery.

Silent One August 22, 2020 at 6:02 AM Sounds lovely and nature does this to us, i find those that do not have a connection with nature, do not really understand life... lovely poem.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest.. Evelyn Judy Buehler August 22, 2020 at 10:45 AM I suppose that is because nature is a part of us, and we are a part of it. I would like to offer my profound thanks for the honor of a placement in your amazing contest, and for your kind words. It has been an interesting and rewarding experience. :)
