Inside a Better Part of Life

I can see the outline
of a farm
where people chose to live

a small nectar of woods
surrounded by trees
and a hill crowding an old barn.

I can see space where
a horse views his world from
a fenced in area
to become a place of habit

I can see a gravel road
inviting us into this sanctuary
and sky’s blue above
a baby
innocence

Fall colours capture emotion
leaves of calico
dropping in to visit.

I close my eyes and see children
and a dog
brook trout---squealing pigs
and butterfly chasing

momma
poppa long gone
but always close beside me.

The fall (of course we have Autumn) goes with dropping to give an image of the falling leaves. And I love the use of calico, it really aides the image. Sometimes I have single word in my head that describe a person's writing, for instance, Jenny is always serenity to me. Your word for today is positive. your writing is always full of positivity.
