My Country Home

For the creative writing group. Words used: serenity, extension, orbit, remoteness, inclination, intrigue, palpable.

The setting sun creates a gentle stillness
Serenity spreads across the landscape
Long evening shadows create extensions of tree limbs
They slowly creep across my uncut lawn
As soon as I turn on my porch light
Small white moths start to orbit around it
They look like so many spinning moons
I like the remoteness of my country home
I have no inclination at all for city life
Too much terrible crime and political intrigue there
In this country home of mine life is palpable
Here life is peaceful and so very alive

[Poetic Beauty]

I like the description of your country home with the stillness and nature surrounding you. It gives a sense of peace and calm in an over busy world.
