Brian Strand Poet Crystalline

Sequence-Country Walk

Follow the track with the scenic view,
into the wood with a carpet blue.

Between clumps of gorse in yellow garb,
along a path baked summer hard.

Around shadu ponds that teem with life,
rush and sedge amidst tall loose strife.

Into the meadow,a country stile,
contemplating I sit awhile.

2020 version

Blossom of baby's breath
soft white gorse
               crusted yellow
weeping willow
rush patterned lace 
              pastures 
a pastel green

Buttercup, daisy&comely cowslip 
mingle&mix 
           in fellowship 
swaying pelts of grass
with purple vetch & 
             ribwort plantain 

Hawthorn &
               scented woodruff
briar brambles sprawl
          in dogrose so tall
above
       harts-tongue
in
                 English rain

Heidie Buys September 28, 2008 at 9:04 AM Wonderful Brian, nothing beats being outside in the country side. To find a secluded spot and enjoy one's own company and thoughts. Good one. Regards Heidie

Carrie Richards September 24, 2008 at 8:12 AM I love a walk like this. I'm an avid walker, take one every morning, rain or shine.....that is the one time to relish what nature lives around us. A shame that often the rest of the day one gets too busy to notice. Lovely picture you painted! ~Carrie
