Beneath The Willow Tree

The sun is slightly hidden
The clouds are partly gone
By this beauty alone, i am driven
To read beneath a tree, as the day goes on
To relax and feel the cool summer breeze
To hold my book to my chest as a treasure
To curl my arms around my knees
To feel content beyond any measure
To let go of life's cruel reality
That is what i want to do today
To sit in the shade of a willow tree
And let my thoughts run astray

    Oh, this is my dream of how to spend my days: a warm spot, leafy green tree and a book. Okay, lots of books. Well, if I was honest, I would own a whole library.

    This is so peaceful. I would like to suggest that you do not need to capitalize the beginning of a line, unless it is the start of a sentence. And, you should capitalize words like "I".

    Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you for your contest submission, I do need to ask you review the rules and edit your submission appropriately. Please reply IN COMMENTS to me and let me know this has been done, thank you.
    I will allow until the end of the day for edits.
    This is such a wonderful rendition for the given prompt, thank you. A sweet trip through the memories of visintng and relaxing within the arms of nature and it's glory. I did note that you put your description under collaborators, was that an oops or intentional? Not that it matters to the write in the least, just a silly thing I had noticed! Best of luck in this and all of your endeavors. Hetohke'e
