Through Rural Country

A pastoral poem, for class.

 

 

Through Rural Country

 

Countryside streams pass my window

a golden light hits my face

blinding my eyes from the world beyond

horses graze in fields nearby

filling their stomachs as day melts away

a lonely house sits on a hill

off in the distance everything is still

unpopulated, quiet, and sound

emerging from the rural road

the bumpiness subsides

onto a smooth paved road we go

out of rural country

to a bustling city

o how far we’ve come

for rural country is only

a day away

I enjoyed the scene you set here, very peaceful. I can see you waving goodbye to the country as you drive into the city. I like the contrast between these two made with the image of change in the road.

I think you want to change quite to quiet?

Very well penned Dana. What delightful images flicked through
my mind as I read this beautiful poem. Well done! ~ Helena
