Forest for the Trees (No Theme Thursday)

Hello all! I’m excited to say this poem is an entry for Kevin’s No Theme Thursday challenge.

I’ve been wanting to participate for some time, and Kevin finally convinced me to join in. If you haven’t yet, please check out his blog – The Beginning at Last. He has some great content!

Forest for the Trees

Peace and serenity

the feeling of tranquility

Sunrise is vast

a gentle warmth at last

The sway of soft breeze

and the rustle of trees

The smell of refreshing Earth

showcasing the deep green rebirth

It’s a new morning of Spring

birds are starting to sing

Dew lining the grass

and the creek is like glass

With soft rippling of waves

the enchanting forest is a maze

One I could get lost in

a bit of dirt upon my skin

Breathing in fresh air

deep in nature, there’s no despair

And now it’s getting late

time to end my little escape

But my favorite place will always be

in the forest among the trees

    • Haha, yayy!! 😆

      And thank you! You are the creator of something awesome that brings people together. 😊 It actually was a really good experience for me to start writing again with a visual element tied to it. Poems are a weak spot for me.

      I’m hoping to post more as well! Great inspiration and minds alike and all that 😂

      • Thank you very much. I am very happy that so many seem to enjoy it. It’s really rewarding and fun for me.
        It’s humbling to see people come up with so many great concepts from just my humble images.
        But the real value is the interactions it’s enabled. I am very, very proud of that most of all. 😊

      • You should be very proud! The benefits of social interaction on mental health are numerous. And sometimes while we can’t always physically get out there, connection in other ways is often very healing. It is appreciated by many, no doubt 😊

  3. What a beautiful, relaxing poem. I can picture being in the woods, walking alongside a brook, listening to the birds and forgetting all about the real world!
