Serenity

I decided just to just go out and sit in this meadow, I probably sat there for an hour and a half just sitting in that one spot writing this, and this is what I wrote.

I sit amongst the green grass fields 

a breeze blowing through my hair,

the blades of grass sway with the songs 

of the chirping birds. 

Little kids laugh and jump and play

down by the tire swing,

a little clear stream flows down below

as the sun begins to fade.

Two little rabbits come up to me

against the warming sun,

outlined by the rays of gold

they dash off once again.

A sparrow flies from the trees above 

and lands right by my feet,

it picks a worm right from the ground

and hops into the trees. 

Flowers spurt out from the grass below

and surround me in their scent,

the yellows and the reds complete this moment

of serenity.

Author's Note

I recommend to everyone, just go out and take a little bit of time from your busy days to just sit in a meadow or forest for a period of time. It is so relaxing and can be quite surreal with what can happen.

I know this feeling, and you are right, it is quite relaxing and amazing. This poem is really great. You give the readers the exact image with your words which is wonderful. I really enjoyed this poem. I wish I had a meadow or forest near me, I'd be there every day. Check out my poems Wintry Bliss and Silent Night. Those are from just sitting, staring, taking in the beauty, and writing. Beautiful write.

LOVELY IMAGERY

my only question is in the last stanza, "flowers spurt" , do you mean squirt or sprout maybe? Spurt sounded a tad off...
Overall, Good job with this.
