Twas on a sunny day in June, as i walked through the light dappled wood, i first heard it's tune. Sweetly lilting sound of the willow warbler, perching up on high, watching, i saw it sway on the twig of a tree in the sunlight, with a background of clear blue sky. Moving quietly to the edge of a pool, a swan and his mate glided over the water, and through the breeze so cool. Walking along a fields edge, rabbits dashed for cover into the hederows, above their heads magpies noisily cackled at jet black crows. Sitting on a log i ate my sandwhiches and smelled the scent of the blinding yellow oil-seed rape,wafting on the wind. Just then from a dense thicket i heared a hard echoing call, a male pheasant his mate he was looking to find. Along a country road the sun bounced off the ground, heat haze distorted the road ahead, then high above me, no more than a speck in the sky, a skylark sang the most inspiring, uplifting, acingly beautiful sound. On through a corn field i walked with my arms outstretched, feeling the coarse stalks of corn on my fingers and hands. I watched a wave blown by the wind ripple through the ripening corn, like a golden sea.Picking an ear of corn i rubbed it through my hands , rough to my touch the chaff blew away, like timeless sands. Later at home, i dreamed the day alive....! |

very nice, the last stanza has some troubling grammatical and spacing...but very vivid, one thing i might reccomend is to shorten up your description to the meat of it...there is so much beautifull writing, it almost feels too much at one time...great read Mike |
