Once more I stood on the lawn
Croquet mallet in my hands.
I stood and looked,
Looked all around
And there surrounding me was green,
The green of Nature’s wonder,
The green of the meadows,
Trees with their new leaves,
And the flowers of early spring.
At the edge of one field I saw two birds,
Two partridges running towards the edge
And into the long grass to hide.
One field had jackdaws on it,
So many of them pecking and walking,
Walking the green sward.
I then looked up,
Looked up to the blue spring sky.
A buzzard sailed serenely above me,
And above the buzzard there was another bird,
This one a red kite flying elegantly in the sky.
Once more I stood on the lawn
Croquet mallet in my hands
Surrounded by the absolute wonder,
The absolute wonder of Nature’s glory.

it dont always take an optimist to notice and to appreciate such things, but to do so each day, back on back and to share them freely .. must surely help ... AGT's eh' GF60, N 🙂
That is the way I see my life Nelle, my life is always full of good things and I appreciate them all.
Andy
Good write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
It takes a lot to appreciate these sorts of things. To me it's that sort of appreciation that separates poets from writers. A job well done and a thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you for your kind words Nicholas, much appreciated.
Andy

anything outdoors in Spring
is just so much more fun
well
unless you suffer from
Allergy's, like hay fever..
still, it's a great time
to appreciate, the joys
of being Alive!
thanks Andy, such immersive writing
hope you have a ton of fun and win a lot

You are surrounded by beautiful nature as you see it in the sky, in the grass, in the trees. This is how I am trying to be too.
I certainly am Rozina and it is wonderful. Thank you.
