Drift Away.....

by Dreamofolwin   Apr 25, 2011


Sunlight drifting through the trees;
buds appearing, brand new leaves.
Children laughing and having fun...
Now that springtime has begun.

How peaceful it is just sitting here;
the sky so bright and the air so clear.
The distant traffic rumbles by...
like distant music, or a lullaby.

Don't want to leave this idylic place;
to join again the mad rat race.
Much here I'd rather sit and stay,
and let my mind just d r i f t a w a y...

    Wow, what an amazing piece of writing, I wish I was actually there experiencing it.

    You have described things so well that you can clearly picture the scene in your head and go there to imagine it.

    Through your writing you created a feeling of calmness and peace for the reader, an escape from everything else.

    Excellent poem, very uplifting. Well done.

    I'm glad you are back with us and your poetry is amazing as always and sorry if my commenting isn't what it used to be! :P Anyway, your poem flowed wonderfully and the structured helped it along. The imagery was amazing in itself and you made many images appear in my head as I read. It's as if I am the person you are writing about and I'm just relaxing in a park or something and listening to the world around me. The message of your poem was very simplistic and I liked how you used every day words to describe a every day event.

    All in all, you have not diminished in your writing whatsoever and I hope you continue to write these amazing poems that are really simplistic and show your creativeness. Anyway, I would just like to say that your poetry is a joy to read and I can't wait for your next one. Great job and keep writing!
