Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Once On a Festive, Golden Afternoon

Once On A Festive, Golden Afternoon

Once on a festive, golden afternoon,
Trailing slow through forests primeval green;
Setting sun was low, eager to leave soon,
Its orange rays giving radiant sheen;
Images coming of stars and forested nights
Moonbeams bouncing into beautiful glow;
Such majestic earthen natural sights,
Nature preening up with its nighttime show
Yellow-eyed owls to call with hoot, hoot hoot,
Wildcats gliding through foliage unseen;
Quietly clomping forth in hiking boots,
Admiring shadowed beauty, Nature's screen
Heart felt glee in future imagined moon
Hiking forth festive, golden afternoon.

Robert Lindley, 
Sonnet,  (Forest and Nature's beauty A'calling)
