Kelli White Poet Free verse

Three Ravens

Three ravens partook of my woodsy trek
Through African Violets and Dandelion flowers
Purples and yellows and freedom abound
Freshness of air cavorting for hours

The Oaks and the Pines foreshadowed my jaunt
The sun peaking through cascading prisms of light
Three ravens above escorted my journey
Billowing black feathers so quick to take flight

And I in my mind a sweet woodsy nymph
Barefoot and blessed in the forest of brown 
Soul filled retreat far away from it all
Three ravens departed before the sunset down

My knee is sore already, but the hiking boots are polished. Kind wishes, Kai Kelli White May 11, 2020 at 8:23 AM Thank Kai, thank god I have a backyard with nature, here in Massachusetts it is still pretty much shut down. Take it slow, :)kelli
