Green leaves and yellow blossoms
Paint the hillside home of my youth.
For years now I have searched these hills
For a kernel of life's truth.
I see the light of living
Flicker and flash in this natural garden --
The compassion, and the beauty of them
Make my heart unharden.
And after travel far and wide
In further quest for absolution,
I've learned that I wish to live upon
These hills 'till life's conclusion.

Nicely done

You have painted the hillsides of your home quite nicely    
I enjoyed!

There can never truly be anyplace like "home"...  I can completely relate to the sentiments here.

I like your rhyming Mish, it doesn't sound forced, which is good.   I think.. I think this poem almost sounds cute though. Was it meant to be cute? It's nice Mish, real nice.

Ron~  You're not wrong  

Betty~  It's great, yes.  I've moved around a bit, and haven't seen anyplace to rival it yet.

Krista~  Thanks!  I'm glad you enjoyed.

Mark~  There's noplace like home *clicks his heels together*

Titia~  Thank you for the compliment!  I love the dandilions too.  

VAS~  You're welcome, mon ami!

Lynne~  Thanks.  I have a hard time with rhyming well in a non-childish way.  So yeah, I expected it to sound a bit cute.  But I'm working toward a less cute style.  LOL You should read some of my older rhymes.  They're so cute you'd probably vomit.

Walt~  Thanks!

Saunni~  Thank you very much.

Heh, ah, I dunno about vomitting, Mish..   I like your poetry, and there ain't nothing wrong with cute sometimes. ^_^ Oh, and you should see MY rhyme, I haven't done a successful one yet.. i wrote things like cat mat hat bat when I was 5, but that's the closest I've ever got. ^_^
Love  -Lynne

I love your imagery.  A place brought to life for others to see.  Good job.
