Heaven On Earth

In the dark recesses of my mind Dwells a passion for life and all it's secrets To experience the wonders of this amazing world To discover its vast oceans of knowledge To revel in the sweetness of a gentle breeze The fresh smell of nature's aroma after a summer rain The moonlit nights that light our way home The magic of those bright twinkling stars How fortunate we are to be alive To be able to experience the magic of the morning With the sweet smell of honeysuckle in the air As we stroll through unending fields Of lush greenery under brilliant blue skies Some would describe this as heaven on earth © Jack Ellison 2014

Spot on narrative Jack. Colorful imagery and you are right, this earth is a piece of Heaven. I think we humans wreck things sometimes. I took the liberty of perusing the titles to all your poems, and though I am color blind, I saw them my own special way. You do have somewhat of a monopoloy going here with your great titles to your poems. Congrats to that. Thomas

A lot of people don't understand why a good title catches their attention. That's okay as long as it does! Thanks Thomas for interest in my poetry!

Heaven on Earth is writting my poetry! But it's now my lot to be a quart low on imagination... at the moment. But never fear Dragon's here. He's rushing to my aid!Sweet little thing. He's so cute, even as big as a horse! His stories are slow coming to you as My epilepsy pacemaker is running low. And I stopped taking a medicine that's making me as sleepy as H***! Good news is I've been painting the front of my house. I fell 3 times while trying to get off of the ground! But Hubby helped me up!
