Love this, especially the last line, 'while lying on a hill of green.' I've heard there is actual physical healing drawn from walking barefoot...the green is good for us. Your poem is beautiful, and so peaceful, blessings....

How sweet the feel of the poem
Flowing with such warmth
For the scene does unfold
With the smell of grass so close

To feel the sweet grass on the hill
To watch the clouds forming still
To long for the quite of the place
Filled with tranquil beauty and grace

Christine, this is a lovely poem you have written for the picture challenge. It whisked me away to a calm and tranquil place - I was laying on the grass too feeling immersed in green and rejuvenated. I love the third stanza the most. I found this to be a most refreshing poem indeed. I hope my short picture challenge poem refreshes you somewhat too. Warm regards ~DD

This is a lovely poem, Christine. I particularly enjoyed the very first stanza. I remember as a kid lying on the grass with arms outstretched looking at the clouds. Brought back a nice memory. Marilyn

Chrissy, nicely done. You did a good job of capturing this picture
this challenge. The scene you described does sound tranquil.
Oh, to lay in a field of green and watch the clouds.

A beautiful depiction of a relaxing day. Taking time to rejuvenate and replenish the soul. The peace and serenity that your words have invoked are but a dream that I can only imagine. I'm at the grindstone with vacation out of reach, but for a moment you have tempted my soul. Beautiful and vivid descriptions of this picture. I loved how your words seemed to cascade down the page. Best wishes in the challenge.

A very well-written poem. The green fields of the picture can carry us away on a special trip of dreaming. This is a close reflection of what heaven might be look alike.

Hi Sandra, Much appreciation for your review and I am pleased your thought it well written. I do try and a bit of an old fashioned lover of rhyming verse and I mist keep an eye out for a green hill to relax upon. Cheers again for your lovely support Christine😃😃

Comment from Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens

Excellent

What an absolutely wonderful take on the picture. I so appreciate the words you have chosen.
The last 2 lines are a fitting wrap.
*No greater gift I could not find as captured memory in my mind
*A glimpse of heaven I have seen, while lying on the hill of green.
Lovely, thank you for sharing
:-) Carolyn
