Picture Perfect

Lucia Haase 1954 (Illinois)



Picture Perfect

Long fences limn through the quaint countryside
fragrantly flowered with each step and stride
where sunlight filters through tall forest trees
and longing grass dances to Summer's cool breeze.
Where flora and fauna thrive joyful with vim,
long fences limn.

Oh to be a woodland bird soaring over all
winged and free amidst nature's great call!
Where wind is a friend the soul ushers in,
there's peace to be found in Creation akin.
Where sky on the horizon sings a blue-eyed hymn,
long fences limn.

About this poem

My niece had sent me a country scene photo with a fence towards seen distantly on where there was a patch of blue sky at the end. The poem is a Rondel. I didn't see that in your form list there.
