Park Therapy

I saw two eastern tiger swallowtails today. I watched as they flickered, fluttered, and frolicked, rising and dipping. A calm breeze gently passed my way. In the distance, a boy mirthfully turned and flipped. A sanguine sun coyly peeked through tall pines and sweet gums. Then a gentle voice came and caressed my ears. I savored sweet breaths as a bee crossed and hummed. And I heard, "Shhh! Hold on, I'm abating all troubles and banishing all fears."

Best poem I have read this week. Best hopeful poem, best use of words to effect. Best descriptive. Great opening line, great finish. Flows seamlessly. Brings reader on board. You might think about breaking it up more by making a newline after each full stop. I do like the way you accurately described the scene to perfection. Poetry at its very best. Very best regards from this lucky 70 year old.
