Larks Over The English Downs

Resplendent and merry are the afternoon hours,

Cradled in the midst of summer.

The melodious lark soars over heather-blanketed downs;

A dazzling array of violet against a

Pure azure sky,

For Nature is alive with celebration,

She has much to rejoice! She spreads her

Earthen boughs, like the delicate wings of the Holly Blue,

Embracing, nurturing her young;

The sapling and the rosebud, as they burst forth

From their winter slumber.

One can lie among the undulating grass,

Rippling with the wind’s gentle caress,

Contented and at ease, whilst all around the

Sloping hills are bathed in the warmth

Of the mellowed Sun.

It is a lovely write, Sarah. Commiserate with a youthful view of how life might be, if only for a moment. Did you fantasize this, experience it first hand or both? Just curious... :)

[Sarah Conder]

A bit of both, I based this poem on my experience of the Yorkshire Moors whilst also taking inspiration from Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights :)

[Ufi Auttorri ~ Amy C. T. Serrat]

Ah, then you may have a bit of both in your blood. Not a bad thing to be sure. Thank you! :)
