Atrribution: Georgia's 'The Lawn'

Cool day quiet early morning
Pair stood still in the mist
As happy lovers holding hands
Just waiting for the kiss
A lawn well maintained bathed in green
Textured well manicured
Snug hidden beneath the mountains
And feeling well secured
Could life be all in abundance
Felt so good together
That accorded to young lovers
In such ideal weather

Such a place as lovers frolic and um do other things, sure has its perks
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I linger in those thoughts of ideal weather.
ReplyDeleteSo what if the meter isn't strict (neither is mine), it's a good poem.
ReplyDeleteAnd those two trees make quite a pair...
ReplyDeleteGreat poem, and I agree with Vivi the meter needn't be strict, as Emily would have told you herself. I'm especially happy with how you described the trees as being like young lovers. Thanks for linking in, Bastet.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the field and fresh air
ReplyDeleteLove the peaceful atmosphere of lawn, esp. 'Textured well manicured' ~ Nice take on the prompt.
