Out in the Country

Noreen  Ann Jenkins
Laughing and running through the fields

with the wind blowing through my hair

and stopping to smell the wild flowers

and gathering the pretty ones for a bouquet.

Smell the air ! Fresh and clean !

Not like the air in the city.

What a pleasure to spend a day

out here in the country !

Stop ! Look ! And listen !

There's a pretty butterfly sitting

on top of the wild flower

and it's glad to be out here, too.

Over yonder a robin perched on the tree limb

singing a joyful song.

Oh boy ! The sun is going down

and time to go back to the city.

What a bummer !

    Yeah... returning to the city is a bummer, indeed. Lovely poem.
