Beautifully written. You put me in the setting and that is a talent! I love the way you write. Flowing, gentle, easy to read and understand. Quite a talent you have! I appreciate the author notes also. Sentimental! Lovely!

What a beautiful picture, damommy. It is indeed one of your private treasures. I loved your words of the Roger's Refrain because they showed the beauty of all the forest brought you. This was very well done and greatly enjoyed. Thank you so much.

This is a neat poem. I like the Roger's Refrain. I'm going to have to try it. The the little bit of repetition adds to the beauty of the poem rather than sounding too repetitive and annoying. It's a lovely picture and does look like woodland path worth walking on.

This is such a lovely tribute to the Grandparents you loved so very much. I appreciate how you allowed the story to write itself. I walk, I listen, I like, I claim, are all a natural progression of the path you lead us on. Thanks for sharing. Embrace the Love from Above.

What a beautiful poem, the flow is superb, the rhyming perfect, the theme idyllic. One has to have the gift of an inner metronome to write as well as this, I'm a musician, it was before I was a songwriter, and now a pretend poet. But I do know rhythm, and you've got it Yvonne, well done, blessings riy

    Thank you, Roy. I play the organ and piano. I've played for funeral wedding, you name it.

    I was right, there you go, I have a head metronome, of course learning to play with a metronome has consequences, dee dee dee

    I never used a metronome. My teacher thought it would be detrimental to depend on one.
reply by royowen on 14-Jan-2022
    I suppose they all have opinions, timing is not necessarily natural, we had a drummer, (he had to go) who got faster and faster. But I never struck a music teacher who didn?t use a metronome for students, a curious one.

What a pleasure to walk this lovely path. I so love the forest and especially
mountains. It delivers peace just reading it. What a pretty lady you are and fine poet. Blessings, Barbara

A fine walk in the park here and I was on this journey with you, another guest at the park, much enjoyed. Just one suggestion for this line:

"Some little squirrels were hard at play"

"Some little squirrels, hard at play"
