Soft Hammock

I sleep on pleasant fibers
With the leaves caressing down
Falling from trees far above
I enjoy my soft hammock

Natures fibers...this speaks to me more of just nestling down in the leaves, but also of the love and enjoyment of nature. Beautiful !!

Simply stated and relaxing ride in your leave-filled hammock! Wasn't reading thru the list a lot of fun, Russ? I used to have a hammock and I had taken so many items in it , there seemed to be little room for the inhabitant--ME! hahaha......loved this contest so much...Nette chose a great theme! Planning Gab's baby shower and visiting with my mom n law this weekend..I will pop in and out to catch up on your autumn festival of poetry! :) Gwendolen
