Placid Is a Place I Want To Be

placid is a place i want to be,
a Grandma Moses painting
set in the bucolic scene of
a red barn crowned with a
rooster weather vane as
children carry water buckets 
from a nearby wishing well
which is visited by a resident
red robin searching for tasty
earth worms surrounding the
wet ground as cows and horses
in the verdant meadow graze
peacefully together
