Croquet With Nature

Goldfinch60



There we were playing croquet in the sun.

Buzzards flew above us,

Red kites flew by,

Woodpeckers were heard,

Natures symphony around us.

Such a wonderful place to be

At one with Nature.

 

I looked up and saw them,

Saw four of them,

Roe deer trotting, jumping and running,

Running around a field nearby.

We all stopped and looked at them

Enjoying the wonder of Nature’s beauty.

They trotted off to their life with Nature.

We continued our game

But my life felt so much better

As I had seemed to become

Part of Nature’s world.

      I saw some very 'English', stiff upper lip croquet players outdoors as a storm was brewing. They'll carry on playing!

      • Goldfinch60

        Yes we play in all weathers, we have a sign written on our foreheads - IDIOT!.

        A beautiful sight I can imagine. Lovely.

          I read, closed my eyes and imagined
          travelling within the blades of your words, weaved of earthly grass
          and lost myself within the clouds of your poetry's Vivity...
          another beautiful reading experience,
          you've chosen to share, my friend
          (such sublime positivity, expressed
          within this, of all months
          how I laud you strength and zest for life)

          Nature a doctor
          Nature an entertainer
          Nature a teacher
          Nature a friend
          Nature my mother
          Nature my family
          This beauty you depicted so well
          I lost myself in the serene picture you painted
          Thanks a lot dear Andy

          • Goldfinch60

                Croquet with the added bonus of deer performing their silent ballet sounds an idyllic afternoons pleasure. Better than using flamingos and hedgehogs like Alice ☺. Truely enjoyed your imagery and retelling of your day.

                • Goldfinch60

                  So kind woundedheart, thank you.

                • Lorna

                  Practicing for the sleigh ride I imagine and you were lucky enough to get a peak!

                  • Goldfinch60

                    They may well have been but Rudolph must have been relaxing somewhere.
