She lazed there long by balustrades
above the whispering river run
where oars dipped down in winding water
gently rippling, gurgling, lapping
wild green banks of rush and willow.
Stretched beyond the straddling lanes
the luscious woods and gold-rich fields
where ragged shadows rose and fell
and birds sang out their heavenly song
in tune with nature’s harmony.
Her cherished view that radiant day
would charm a less receptive mind.

Sublime Michael!
A fine eloquent write, '13 minutes into the UK day' poet! heehee.
I ran a small workshop for the under privileged this morning and was busy getting prepared and missed the time slot - Oh life can be such a b *+%1
How beautifully written is your poem. It paints a lovely picture with the details you supply and got me into the scene as I read... well done.
Thanks for your gracious comments Alf.
Certainly charms my mind. Peaceful contentment.
In my hunt for piece left to time, I landed on this today - it reminds me of one I have been formulating for a week, and thus - your poem resonates.
A fine description of a day to daydream and I shall love to lie down with your pic, under a shady three on field of green grass.
