Croquet and Nature.

Goldfinch60



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 🙂

    • Nicholas Browning

      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.

      • Goldfinch60

        Thank you for your kind words Nicholas, much appreciated.

          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
          and erm
          just wondering
          'are Croquette snacks
          a must
          at half time?'
          lol

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you Mek.

            Snacks are not important but in my case coffee is a must. LOL

            Your gratitude for all things natural is a pleasure to read dear Andy
            - -- a wonderful read and loved the chosen number too.

              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.

              • Goldfinch60

                I certainly am Rozina and it is wonderful. Thank you.
