I Am In Virginia

I sit on the balcony
legs swinging, with a friend
hoping this summer 
will never end
I feel the country breeze 
on my face
Hearing many sounds,
that leave no trace
looking down on uncle Jim's farm
the fields are endless
the sun is so warm, 
the fireflys twinkle 
like stars, and swarm
the river runs wildly, 
waterfall foams idly
dad fell on a slippery rock,
spashing by me..
The rain, pitter patters, 
frogs on the pond, splatter
a drip, droppity song

Wonderful rhyme. The sounds just roll of the toungue. Much brighter than your other poems, but then again life is both up and down. I find it easier to pen the sad because it helps me cope. Thanks for you comments on my poem. Happy Writing!
