Such a Sunny Day

SUCH A SUNNY DAY To a wishful breeze, whispering grasses swayThese pastures of different green colour huesSuch was it, this beautiful glorious sunny day Farmers in their fields, reaping in the dry haySkies lightened by the sun in blooms of bluesTo a wishful breeze, whispering grasses sway Birds; within the hedgerow’s, come to surveyEars as bent, as to the swaying grasses newsSuch was it, this beautiful glorious sunny day Under the cool of a tree, woolly sheep, do layA puppy dog; plays, a field mouse, it pursuesTo a wishful breeze, whispering grasses sway Picturesque; I couldn't have it any other wayAs into my memory, I memorize all the viewsSuch was it, this beautiful glorious sunny day Reflective thoughts; become me this fine dayAs to any other day only here I would chooseTo a wishful breeze; whispering grasses swaySuch was it, this beautiful glorious sunny day Indiana Shaw . . .

Not an easy form Indiana but you've composed it well, happy memories of a summers day. You were lucky to have spent your early years on a farm, gard work but rewarding. Tom

It's nice to extend your wings a bit in poetry, Tom, as long as I know I can only extend my wings so far, and, yes, I am a lucky one, it's been a nice day up here, it can't, but help bring back happier memories, it was a case of less of the aggro, and more of the agro, back in the days ; )

Thank you, Paulette, for your kind comment, God, gave me a plan as a child, I will never forget it, or lack any ungratefulness for it, it is in that peacefulness you understood just what God's and Mother Nature full dream for us all was, blessing my friend . . . : )

Well, it's all down to you, Milts, for showing me the Villanelle form, through your own Villanelle poems, so, I am glad you liked it . . . : )

Hi, Jeff, if it had not been in the Villanelle form trapping me into a certain set of lines, I think I could have written more, I was brought up on an arable farm as a child, then a dairy farm as a teenager, it was outer point of view, I would like to think I feel and understand peacefulness, Cheers, me old spud . . . ; )
