Escape and roam the meadows long.
To far distractions ever strong.
Breathe in the heady sweetest scents,
Relax your mind in fields cadence.
Listen to the cool bubbling stream,
It's swiftest currents fulfill dreams.
It's rippled waters singing sweet,
Releases stress of days defeat.
Tall saw grasses caress the skin,
Your footfalls path creates a mend.
Discover new uncharted land,
Heal what plagues the heart of man.
Hear the gentle coo of a dove,
calling to his sweet lady love.
Observe a doe and fawn graze free,
in sunlit fields of soft swift breeze.
Sit down beneath the stalwart oak.
Of shaded glen somewhere remote.
Let all your senses travel light,
In lushest meadows of delight.

Love the imagery and natrual beauty you have here penned, it leaves me with a calm inner feeling that I get when relaxing out beneath my maple trees, simply watch the song birds near the juniper. Beautiful write!

Nice rhymes and flow. I'm really impressed. It's just really imaginative, so full of details.
"lushest meadows of delight" indeed.

A graceful and meditative stream that has lifted imagery and nature mending the broken streams, and weaving a peaceful dream. Most elegant and graceful write!

Lovely Creation!
I cant help thinking you have seen one of my favourite places in Otago, and out it into poetry. You bring the peaceful meadow surroundings into the heart of all who read. Your background matches the poem and the rhyming is spot-on, with one exception in lines 9 & 10. But Im sure you tried to keep it true to your vision without compromising anything. Thank you for this entry, poet

Wow! What an awesome poem suseann. You really do write such wonderful pieces. This, like your 'Captivating Tempest', has such great vocabulary and imagery - how DO you do it?
Well done suseann, keep up the fab work.
best wishes as always
