Love the stream chuckle. As children we gathered chuckies ( small white pebbles) from the burn (stream) Thanks for the memory. Anne-Lise. Hugs

Yours is the first I've read that had the proper 3rd line kicker. Well done. Man, oh, man, do I want to walk into that picture. How content I'd be just to breathe surrounded by that nature ... wonder if there's room to build a cabin. CayCay

What a happy poem! I love a chuckling crystal stream! If I had a trumpet, I'd blow it, just to see the petals awaken and here it.
