Excellent

I very much enjoyed your description of the environment sheltering your secluded lake. I particularly liked the words:
My nostrils flair.
As I inhale and smell the
sweet fragrances of flowering petals

I love this Jim, firstly because it's seriously good freestyle poetry written with expression and mouse, and secondly, it glorifies the one who brings it all to pass. I love this style of poem, it's high detail and language, well done, blessings Roy

That was amazing. I loved your descriptive imagery with a great attention to detail, and the story of your travels to places dear to you. The visuals are so great I feel like I am there, at the scene, inhaling the fresh air of magic.

Favorite lines (among many)

My nostrils flair.
As I inhale and smell the
sweet fragrances of flowering petals
reaching toward the baby blue sky,
I thank Him above for providing me
another long summer's day.

I can smell the grass and flowers (smile).

No, I didn't submit for this contest. You confused me with someone else.

Anywhere where time stops so that we can breathe in nature and enjoy the scene is a magical place to be and I felt time stop whilst reading your wonderful post Jim. It is a pity the sirens broke the silence here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x
