Travelling eastward in a car,
brown tracery against the blue;
and green flushed fields with promise new
of harvest on a coming summer day;
then after lunch we wander on the hill
the sky now grey,
bare higher ridge ahead,
a sense of depth and space –
the valley stretched between,
way down, below.

Firstly Rhiannon, can I say how much I love the name Pippin's Hill and the photo.

Your poem brings back the realization of just what a wonderful world we live in. Each line was a pleasure to read and thank you for sharing.

Jenny.

Thank you, Jenny for sharing that, too. I just tried to get those impressions recorded that were such pleasure on that time out. Rhiannon

That's beautiful!

You have time as well as space in here, both your time there and future when the crops have grown. And the way the last line opens up is wonderful

Oh, thank you, too, Di. So glad it had that effect! I do love seening the new crops pocking up through the earth in rows, as well as the ordinary grass growing again. Rhiannon

Another great little nature poem and photo. Have you ever thought of making a small collection of these? Following on from your letter to your father, it would be a lovely legacy. Who knows what those views will look like in 100 years from now

Thanks, Insert. So glad you liked them again. I have thought a bit about collecting them up, but hadn't thought about the aspect of views changing! Rhiannon

Yes! At the very least try your local tourist office to see if they would publish a pamphlet with pictures and poems! T they certainly inspire me to want to visit
