Walk In the Woods

As I enter the woods for a walk on a path walked by many
I see that the trees create an overhead canopy
With small streak of light filtering through the canopy
Squirrels scampering up and down the trees
Birds chirping and singing in perfect harmony
Toads blending into their surrounding
Frogs croaking on lily pads in the nearby pond
Balsam trees giving off their fresh scent of pine
My eyes can't believe the beautiful sights and sounds heard as I leave
Thinking what a wonderful walk in the woods I had

Thank you for the warm welcome. I will probably enjoy it if I can figure out if my poems have been received and have been read. I am ready for any support that anyone can give me and help me to improve my writings as I go along. Pat

Thank you for you warm welcoming. I am retired and trying to reinvent myself into something that is totally different from what I use to do. I live in Indiana but originally from Ohio. I am a cancer survivor going on three years. I like to do all kinds of crafts such as knitting, embroidery, reading, crossword puzzles and now writing poetry. My friends think that I should pursue this and I do enjoy writing, it helps me to keep positive thoughts and it is relaxing. I would appreciate feedback on my poems when I post them. Thanks for stopping by to welcome me to your group. It was very thoughtful of you. Pat
