"I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud" by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a geek Through silent woods and rustling leaves Down the hill to the flowing creek Away from life's stress causing heaves There I saw a white lovely swan By magic there appeared a fawn As the slow running water splashed Then filled a deeper hole for fish A place to dream and keep my cached Where those large fish could jump and whish A place to write some poetry down Where depressing thoughts could sink and drown Where microscopic details thrived Those threatened plants grow high and wide In this place they truly survive This past spring trillium I spied A host of buckeye 'pon the hill And wild azaleas gave me thrills Back up the winding trail to home Spirit filled, soul rested, and still No need to drift; physically roam Just let my thoughts of this day fill In the kitchen in drudgery's grip From my cup of memories sip

BJ, I am honored that you faved it. Some of this is imagination, but some factual. We don't have swans here or at least I have never seen one. We can go to a place of imagination anytime can't we. I need all the blessings that I can get. Thanks for your kind review. Sara

Fantastic poetry, especially when the implications of the images you're drawn to are taken into consideration. I liked the general atmosphere and the way the writing flowed. The reading experience is delightful. My best wishes for the contest.

Thank you, Victor. Today I have a pot of pear preserves on cooking while I write a little. Soon the putting them in jars and sealing them will begin. I will give part of them as gifts. Your visits always add a great dimension to my work. Sara
