Take Me There

There’s nothing like the lovely rustic charm Exuded by the far flung lush green country farm Where trees in majesty sweep heaven with their crown And birds with celestial music, the surrounding valley drown Where the air, so pristine and sweet like the forest glade And Heaven with rich profusion bless the country wide. Where the rural folk in relentless toil, values, and pride With their simple, artless, and modest life reside My senses have ere long etched every sight n’ sound Of that countryside wherein my childhood inextricably bound Take me to that place of bliss to which I long to retreat And splurge in memories that cascade down in surfeit.

A picturesque write Valsa, your words more colorful than a paint brush with palette.

Wow! You mean that you left that ideal, idyllic farm?! How could you have?! (Ha, ha. I did too.) Funny how we all come full circle at some point in time. :) gw

Sounds like you were raised in a wonderfully rural setting. You paint the image so vividly -- though not my experience growing up, you make me wish that it were. Lovely poetry!
