Congratulations on your win. This poem exudes a feeling of serenity that soothes and quiets the restless heart and mind. Nature has that effect on our emotions if we take time to let its magic work.

Fine work. Stay safe and blessed

This gentle poem reminds the reader of walks in lovely places where nature replaces the hum of social life. The rhyme scheme and meter are skillful, although I can find places where a different choice of words might have made an improvement. Take line 6 and 7; replace them with "Relieves the swelter of heat, midday/ In this, my gentle spot, I stay. " I don't know that this can be rated as better; it seems so to me, and I think this fine, reflective poem could be improved with small changes of word choice.

Your poem is excellent in every respect--skillfully written, with creative per-stanza mono-rhyming, and vividly descriptive of a quiet, lovely spot in nature that engenders peace and satisfaction.

Reading your poem brings peace and love to nature. It takes away the painful feeling of loneliness. The image is very gorgeous; the movement of the grass is very unique.
