Riverwood



Which way do I turn, if not, to you
Woodsy path is wild - wheat, grass, moss
Berries abound, colorful as birds
As summer mornings cool as iced tea
Under pines & sugar maple trees
River-bound, the air is pristine
Rebirthing within me, slate so green

    Very nice sound. I like that rebirthing in the last line and the thought of slate being green.

    summer mornings cools as iced tea..........refreshing comes to mind...and here you've painted the rebirthing, the greening. If I were an artist with watercolors, I would love to paint this scene and the feelings you evoke here :)

    Lillian nailed by favorite line. A sweet septet. We all could use a halcyon walk in the woods; smile.

    Beautiful poem - I am especially fond of the ending..

    Rebirthing within me, slate so green

    slates are usually wiped clean and I find the imagine of greenery a fresh start.

    I do enjoy the iced tea cool summer mornings. A peaceful verse, both in its imagery and structure. It's a "slate so green". :-)
