summer retreat

 

 

thunder storms over summer shore

skim stone ripples smooth

overlaps rain

drops kisses

the river's face

creases sand and leaves

footfalls fade into log cabin

door creaks open then shuts

'skim stone ripples smooth' ... a past time honored adventure of discovery and delight portrayed in most excellent word choice
how easily i am returned to the joys of the child

[redd Brick Keshner]

Usually the joys of childhood are the most unstained and pristine in its longevity. Glad this poem has provided return tickets to those wonderful memories. And thank you for your kind words in response. /Freds.

you earned them ... all i did was recognize them

Description poetry. The moments in our lives that might seem mundane but poetry can be found in most everything. I was listening for a fire to start.

I'll check out more later

Thanks, Bill. The crackling firewood is another segment or a new poem.
