Listen to poem:

Serene Meadow

April 07, 2024 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Through the serene meadow, we tread, With mindful motions and hearts full of dread, It's daybreak; everything is quiet and at ease, Serene and chilly, the air is devoid of any breeze.  Transfixed, the environment seems still, Its volition alone causes the light to quill. Oh, how I long for this to be true, A white dove swoops into the sky blue.   A fluffy dandelion was in sight, It anchors your way extremely tight. Steadfast in their grip, A delicate dance with nature's clip. Oh, my friend, your mind dived wayward, When in the air, they soar hayward. Pictures that advert beyond hope, White doves imply freedom and scope.   They provide a fresh start, a blank slate, floating on delicate wings straight. Oh, my dear friend, that story you share, I can tell that it is utterly rare.   Here we are, in this rating place, He coughed and sneezed in a bitter embrace. A fresh cycle began, filled with grace, A lack lingers and aches in my space.  Oh, how I hunger for your presence, Shivering with fear, ready for incandescence. Oh, the sooner we confess, Furthermore, our indifference serves to impress. Without hesitation, we can unite, An euphoric antihistamine site. However, hold on, you insane soul, I have something superior to control.  At the moment, my heart is sound, A gleam of optimism and a shining ray were found. A pure and sparkling treasure was in public, Do you wish to witness the magic?   The word "yes"—how quaint, whispered slowly, without complaint. A single syllable in length, I implore you twice your strength.

SP, the meadow seems to have a lot going on. I think the reference to coughing and sneezing adds some humor...we know some of us have trouble in the natural world. I wonder if that is something relatively new in human history. Nice to stick it out and see what the magic is! You have me guessing.

Dear Sotto, I loved how your poetic journey through the serene meadow captivates the senses and stirs the soul. Amidst the tranquility, there's an undercurrent of longing and anticipation, beautifully expressed through nature's dance—your words reflect vulnerability and resilience. Let's embrace the magic together and find strength in unity. - Blessings, Daniel

How delightful: A fluffy dandelion was in sight. Love your writing. A rhyming dictionary is good, don’t force your rhymes. Change the rhyme instead. Hugs ~ Kim

Ah dr sotto, what a beautiful and heartfelt poem as always, and i love the way you rhyme always, from fluffy dandelions to the way youv painted imagery and the wisdom that flows too in lines such as “ Oh, my friend, your mind dived wayward, When in the air, they soar hayward. Pictures that advert beyond hope, White doves imply freedom and scope.“ so profound and the ending too hits strong! Your words always are soulful and you have a unique way of phrasing thoughts! Pleasure reading this!

Your poem paints a serene yet introspective scene, inviting readers into a journey through a tranquil meadow with your friend.. It establishes a peaceful and contemplative atmosphere as the speaker and their friend traverse the meadow at daybreak. The quietness of the morning and the absence of breeze create a sense of stillness and anticipation. Its a lyrical exploration of nature, friendship, and the human experience. It captures moments of quiet introspection and shared connection..

A mellifluous melody of a poem that inspires as one reads the great use of diction, imagery and metaphoric use. I was captivated from line one. Well done.

Beautifully descriptive, my friend: ---Transfixed, the environment seems still, Its volition alone causes the light to quill. Oh, how I long for this to be true, A white dove swoops into the sky blue----and woven with splendid emotions: Oh, how I hunger for your presence, Shivering with fear, ready for incandescence--- excellent write, Lasaad.
