Happy Poems & Nature Poetry

CREEKSIDE READING

Sometimes when I sit and read
at the creekside
there are ducks and wild geese to feed
It's a very peaceful place
for solitude and personal space
Time takes you on a magic carpet ride
No cares or woes to hide
The characters in the book
are so very real
You become a part of them
in your imagination
holding hands with fascination
And as a gentle breeze blows by
it lifts the tiny hairs on your arm
as ants go marching by
with no intent to harm
You reach to turn the page and look
at a stray ant running acrossed your book
There is so much action in this small space
and yet peacefulness prevails
It's amazing what you learn
when you pay attention
to all of the little details
