L Milton Hankins Poet Quintilla

The Perfect Place

Soon spring wildflowers will appear
Red Larkspur in the meadow near,
And sweet honeysuckle blooming
With birch twigs ready for brooming
All to the stroller bring good cheer.

Strolling through the meadow I find
A peace enhanced with beauty rare,
The perfect place to say a prayer*
Where one may come to clear the mind,
And leave one’s worries far behind.

written March 1, 2022
(prayer is a one-syllable word
where I come from)

Shirley Hawkins March 2, 2022 at 6:40 PM Autumn has just arrived in Australia, It too is a beautiful season. The wondrous, amazing burst of colours could only come from Nature and God's paintbrush. Nature helps us all to cope with the craziness of the world we live in at this time. L Milton Hankins March 2, 2022 at 7:13 PM And so it does! Thanks so much for your read and your comment. We are looking toward early Spring here, of course. It's still chilly and the weather somewhat unpredictable.

Bill Baker March 1, 2022 at 3:05 PM I agree, Milt. Prayer is one-syllable. I liked this one, very peaceful. Bill L Milton Hankins March 1, 2022 at 3:09 PM Thanks, Bill. Sometimes, I simply must point these things out. (chuckling)

Tom Cunningham March 1, 2022 at 1:44 PM Being out and about and being at one with nature is food for the soul. Tom L Milton Hankins March 1, 2022 at 2:53 PM Indeed it is, Tom. Thanks for your read and your thoughtful comment.
