I've spread my blanket on a grassy spot beneath a grand, appealing willow tree. I relish how its long, green, wispy leaves, which almost touch the ground, envelop me. I watch them swaying in the gentle breeze as I sit--silent, lost in pensive thought. As one who feels that solitude can lead to peace, I've found the perfect spot I sought. I brought my pen and paper just in case . . . but suddenly I’m nodding and my eyes are closing. For a little while, I'll sleep. Perhaps I’ll write a poem when I rise.

Hello Janice … I really enjoyed your poem Janice, especially the advice on leaving the electronic devises at home. Great advice indeed - Lindsay

Yes sometimes when it is choice it is beautiful.. My muse is also inspired by such things and people need to put their phone down sometimes and admire the wonders around them...
