Notes About The Poem

A tip of the cap to Chris Green for inspiration. (I highly recommend his site to all poetry-lovers.)

Upon a Sun-tossed Meadow

  
               My eyes upon a sun-tossed meadow
                 a sight I’d never seen
               rippling ‘cross the rolling grass
                 lifted from a dream

               Billowing midst birds and butterflies
                  her skirts as chaste as silk
                hair of gold shone so bright
                  creamy skin, like fresh-drawn milk

                Blinking twice she lingered there
                   then vanished sans a trace                
                Took the sunshine with her
                   ~ left me bereaved of grace

Hilda Greenhough April 19, 2026 at 8:46 PM I've seen these beautiful meadows. You've preserved them in your poem. I'll need to dig out my backpack and join you.

Joseph P. DiMino April 18, 2026 at 9:49 PM Very beautiful my friend. Dreamy indeed. Of course there are the physical attributes of your vision, fascinating nature, human love...but then there is the sad and subtle, perhaps deeper motivating factor behind such a work...what was it all about? Did I really accomplish anything? Did I let myself and God down somehow. Is this world really any better for my journey. Where has my immediate connection, my sense of grace gone. You always make me think. I apologize if I have gone too far astray.
