CayCay Godwin Poet Rhyme

New England

the sea winds calling
           calling beach tides thrilling
                  thrilling woodlands for hiking
	                hiking along streams vibrant 
		             vibrant wildlife still sprawling
	                           sprawling plant life enthralling
	                                 enthralling cobble streets for strolling
                                          strolling perfection in a New England town ~~
                                             a New England town of actual living sounds -
                                                sounds like I should permanently settle down:

Leading a simple life are solid folk.
Many fish the sea for their living.
In city life, they would be slowpokes,
but here time is for deep breathing.
Old lighthouses dot an idyllic coast
and fishing boats fill the scenic harbors.
There’s shellfish aplenty for dining ardor.
Many inns are old homes of lace and charm,
reminiscent of America’s youth.
There are old horse bridges and farms
built when pride was America’s truth.
There is much history to relish
and nature that stirs one zealous.
New England is the good life embellished
and an address that I would cherish.

David Crandall January 16, 2026 at 3:26 PM This sure sounds nice - brings back memories of my visit to Massachusetts several years ago - Boston, Waldon Pond, a small farm with goats near the Vermont border. CayCay Godwin January 16, 2026 at 3:40 PM You went to Waldon's Pond? Cabin is super small, right? I've dreamt of going there for decades and with AI I began to wonder if I could rent the cabin. Thoreau is my hero. All of New England is breathtaking and it is probably untouched for tourism dollars, but I don't care for I am glad greed finally landed on my side. CayCay

Gershon Wolf September 2, 2021 at 5:30 PM Oh, this resonates so, Caycay! I lived four years in New Hampshire back in the day, as they say. A land of magical physical enchantment, indeed. Sunny days and starry nights, Gershon
