Nice poems. It DID make me happy just reading it! And nostalgic for a simpler time. When today's twenty year old write his version of that poem forty years from now it will start off:
"I barely remember springtime days
spent texting with a friend so long.
Trading emoticons each way,
In chat-rooms filled with boring throngs"

Congratulations on your win! I enjoyed your well written entry,
Rod. Your words created great imagery of the beauties of nature.
I could visualize everything as I read. The image is beautiful, too,
and supportive of your well thought out poem of reconnecting
with friends and nature.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from karenina
It's a feel good poem alright! Skillfully written... Imagery that seems old worldly...
pre-Smart phone in hand. Imagine! Nothing virtual about this encounter!
Wouldn't that be a change of pace!

Comment from zanya
The poet reminds us here in these stanzas of some of those very special moments in life 'spent with a friend' that bring real joy' a chance to chat, renew our ties'- thanks for reminding us of the things that really matter ! Tranquillity pervades these stanzas

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Excellent poem. Well done.
The rhyming feels natural, unforced. Good work.
The mood is delightful (though I never use that word, lol).
You make me want to be there.
Best wishes.
