IDYLLIC

"Having grown up in an idyllic village, I consider myself as blessed. I was rid of all rigid formalities of urban living.  Enjoyed the artless innocence of countryfolks, breathed fresh air, occasionally pranced through wilderness, talking to wildflowers and butterflies" - By Poet


There’s nothing like the lovely rustic charm, Sent out by far flung lush green country farm. Where trees in glee sweep heaven with their crown, And songbirds, the surrounding valley drown. There the air, fresh and sweet like forest glade, And Heaven blesses rich, the country wide. Where the rural folk in their toil and pride, With their artless and modest life reside. To such idyllic bliss, I long to go, Where life like a silent river shall flow.

Congratulations, Dear Valsa, for sharing this charming description of an idyllic place. I grew up in a crowded city, but for three years in my childhood I had the opportunity to live in a village and enjoy the blissful air and bountiful nature. Hope we will enjoy many more of your magnificent poems….best wishes ~

It is nice to live rural where it is quieter and more relaxed if there is such a place this day and age. Thanks for sharing this one with us and a little about yourself. Sara K

Nice poem. Rural life has slower pace and is self content.

What a lovely poem, dear Valsa. I once visited an idyllic village like the one you describe here, located somewhere in southern India. Although I can't remember the name, the magical memories will always stay.Thank you for the whimsical charm of childhood memories..A fave for me...Hugs

Poetically, the poem contrasts the intricacies of city life with the ease and charm of rural living. Nature flourishes and people live modestly in the countryside, which is recognized for its quiet and charm. In the poem, the images and language come together to provide a clear picture of life in rural areas. Use of vivid imagery and descriptive adjectives such as "rustic charm," "lush green," "trees in glee," and "fresh and sweet" captivates the reader's senses.

Beautiful poetry, Valsa; I felt great joy, and wonder reading this fine work. Sounds like you had a blessed childhood. You brought to life, for me, a city boy, the splendor of a rural countryside, all its living, enchanting mysteries, in such a rich and illustrious way...I was entranced and captured. Transported. Magical write. Thank you.
