Array ( [sid] => 127790 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => What Matters To Me [time] => 2006-11-03 17:30:49 [hometext] => I mostly like to create poems about emotions,particularly love.But,I also admire nature.Here is a simple poem about country life. [bodytext] => What matters to me,
in life day after day.
A smile and a wink,
watching children at play.

A bird taking flight,
soaring free in the sky.
A clear running stream,
jumping fish eating flies.

A field of bright blooms,
colors strewn everywhere.
Wild rabbits playing,
without even a care.

Butterflies flying,
from roses to daisies.
Cows in a field,
relaxing lazily.

Frogs in a pond,
leaping to and fro.
Watching waves of grass,
as the wind starts to blow.

Eating ripe fruit,
from a big apple tree.
Standing atop a high hill,
beholding the view to be seen.

Taking a dip,
in a cool swimming hole.
Catching some fish,
with a cane fishing pole.

Watching the clouds,
seeing imaginary things.
Listening in content,
to the robin redbreast sing.

Watching the colors,
as day turns into night.
Stars starting to twinkle,
what a beautiful sight.

Heading back home,
as the day comes to an end.
When tomorrow comes,
enjoy it all again. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 165 [topic] => 27 [informant] => JennyF [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => NaturePoetry )

What Matters To Me

What matters to me,
in life day after day.
A smile and a wink,
watching children at play.

A bird taking flight,
soaring free in the sky.
A clear running stream,
jumping fish eating flies.

A field of bright blooms,
colors strewn everywhere.
Wild rabbits playing,
without even a care.

Butterflies flying,
from roses to daisies.
Cows in a field,
relaxing lazily.

Frogs in a pond,
leaping to and fro.
Watching waves of grass,
as the wind starts to blow.

Eating ripe fruit,
from a big apple tree.
Standing atop a high hill,
beholding the view to be seen.

Taking a dip,
in a cool swimming hole.
Catching some fish,
with a cane fishing pole.

Watching the clouds,
seeing imaginary things.
Listening in content,
to the robin redbreast sing.

Watching the colors,
as day turns into night.
Stars starting to twinkle,
what a beautiful sight.

Heading back home,
as the day comes to an end.
When tomorrow comes,
enjoy it all again.

Grew up in the country, so I can so relate to this write. Wonderful images. Great rhyming, that just kept me moving right along.
Thanks for sharing.
