Just Loving Life


My wind chimes entertain me as I write
of bright blooms and cool rain,
nearby fields of golden grain,
and life’s joys that never wane.

This is really pretty. I like the englyn pattern of rhyme and syllables. There's something that makes it sing like wisdom. Thanks for commenting on my puddle jump poem. J :)
