As I awoke in the early dawn
I stretched and scratched and yawned
I slept very well you see
On pine needles from the tree
The sun's rays were shinning through
The trees of maple, elm and yews
The golden rays of light
Were shinning oh so bright
I walked down to the stream
To bath and wash my hair so clean
I did my laundry too
Each color looked so new
I saw a little deer
It's mother was so near
They too came to the stream
To drink and splash serene
Butterflies were fliting oh so merrily
A lovely sight me friend, if you could only see
So much beauty just abounds in Forest oh so green
Wild berries and other fruit that one could glean
Yes I like living here inside the lovely place
Trees, flowers and animals too, each day a brand new face
So why not come and join me, in this outdoor realm so true
It was put here on earth for people like me and you

What a lovely description of the unclocked beauties you clearly notice and appreciate in Nature! Charming "each day a brand new face," whether of plant or animal or flower. Reminds me of my grandmother's home, tho' we never laundered or bathed in the stream (the chiggers would have eaten us alive!) Pleasant and inviting write! Nicely done rhyming.

This is quiet lovely with its gentle uplifting rhyme. Best of luck in the contest. ~Pamela

This is a lovely poem.
While I was reading this, I could see the picture of the forest and stream in my mind, beautiful write.
Keep up the great work.

Thanks Blue rew. I changed shinning to shining I also type this wrong. I must have a mental block to it. Fliting was spelled OK. I appreciate your comments and for pointing out the errors.

Bright and bubbly, this gives the reader
a wondrous peek into the pleasures of
simplicity; living close to nature.
Paints wonderful scenes of tranquil beauty.

PS-would benefit from a good proofread...
several misspells such as shining & flitting -
This was as refreshing as the air
you took to breath. You must have had a lovely day..mac
