Green seas,
billowy hills,
froth of flowers
here and there,
frolicking lambs feasting
from their foraging
mother sheep –
ships afloat the green sea,
harvesting.

Thanks. I appreciate that. It's good to be able to capture a scene and its effect in a few words sometimes! Rhiannon

I love that metaphore: a green,sea with the froth of flowers, such an imaginative scene to behold, and those photos set the poem off perfectly.

What lovely imagery! Very clever, and “Green seas, billowy hills", we can do more of that around here!

Thank you, Tom. I suppose it is still dry where you live despite some heavy rain. Rhiannon
