Countryside To City

Published by Family Friend Poems June 2014 with permission of the Author.

As I look to the sky, I can clearly see
The glorious sun beaming down on me.
The clouds go from thick to a whispy thin.
To miss such a view is a terrible sin.
As I look around this spectacular place,
I feel a smile take over my face.
The fields of lush green grass are dotted
With beautiful wild flowers the bees have spotted,
Busily flying from flower to flower,
Pollinating before a shower.
The distinctive red of a poppy field
To a tarmac strip they have to yield.
The man-made pathway cuts through nature's canvas,
Taking us to far flung places around us
To a built up concrete industrial machine
Where places like this are rarely seen,
So whenever you visit the countryside,
Take a few moments to put aside
So you will remember what you have seen
Before you return to the not so green.
