The day's summer shadows
guide my fortuitous way;
sunbeams sparkle
like a million jewels,
leaving me in touch
with nature at its best;
it all seems dreamy,
when through a glade,
concealed by tall grasses,
threads of gossamer
hide rainbow colours.
Then, hidden from view,
I spy a golden lake;
a magic shimmer
of ripples,
as silent whispers
of a gentle breeze
take my breath away;
I wish to linger long.

You take me there, and make it so vivid, and delightful. Thank you! Rhiannon (linger long' is a nice bit of alliteration!)

actually, 'linger long' seems quite onomatopoeic, doesn't it? Rhiannon

Hi Pi,
yes! wouldn't it be wonderful, to have a place like
this that you could go to?
You can linger long by this lake anytime you like
Pia, if only in your minds eye.
Thankyou for reading and I hope you are okay.
Jenny.

Hello Jenny,
Yes, a beautifully written poem that paints an idyllic picture of tranquillity. Reading your words I found I was transported and for the time spent reading this I was there enjoying the hazy sunshine and viewing the scene as if through a gossamer curtain.
Wonderfully descriptive.

Hi Moya,
Oh! for the peace...quiet and beauty, which I hopefully captured in this poem, I think I did
from your beautiful words.
It's so good to be able to transport you to a
place of calm.
Thankyou so much for reading, it's always
appreciated, knowing it's touched the soul.
Jenny.
