Best Back Yard Poems

While watching the stars way up high,
my thoughts drift to another time,
sleeping beneath a clear summer sky,
four sisters all in childhood's prime.

My thoughts drift to another time,
another place where innocence was bred,
four sisters all in childhood's prime,
talking and giggling as we climbed into bed.

Another place...

Though it gets lots of water,
our grass on clay dirt yellows;
stubborn thorny weeds reside. . . . 
where might I buy turf?

     sun frames mount’s splendid beauty 
sun sets in Ozarks 
           pear trees glisten burnt orange

Plants, Trees, Hills, and Grass

White shed black trim corner back

School and Park with kids

Path near fence where two dogs track

Green, Brown, Orange, Yellow, Red, Black

 

Five Pines fifty years

Rock garden and sidewalk near

Lilac Bushes two

Squirrels, Chipmunks, Birds fly through

Expanse of sky white and blue

Twin poplars over eighty feet
one proud and full of life
Then nature in a twist of fate
crept in one windy night

Nature doesn't pick and choose
it takes what's in its path
The feeble weakling of the two
a victim of its wrath

Laying there upon the ground
thirty feet of tree
Stretched...

me  and some had a clover
we dance and swing
some us sing

Water wheel running
cascading over slate rocks
the water pours fast
down the mini waterfall
into the large pond below.

Gold fish are thriving
nine fishes swim in this pond
from the gazebo
watching them dart in the pond 
chasing each other around.

Raspberry plants grow
along with my small garden
the potted flowers
sit high on...

I see three cities
and a mountain range far west.
There’s a fenced canal
beside which folks walk or jog 
on a path, sometimes with dogs!

Beyond the canal
I see myriad houses,
the view to the left
blocked by tall leafy tree tops.
Beyond the homes lies a lake.

Barely visible,
the lake is...

We were raised in a large city
Accessed by, car, taxi, or bus
Sidewalks went to who knows where
But the back yard was country to us

Fenced in but hardly containing
Three very large trees we could climb
Half grass, half dirt, where we could run
Our playground for most of...

Atop a pineapple ring
