I pulled out this oldie-and-goodie for today's Poetry Potluck. From 2008
The Magic Kingdom
My Disneyland is
listening to the rustling leaves
moving my pen, watching
My hair obscures my
view of the page
I could listen to the wind
Pushing crackly leaves
All day long and never
Get bored
There is little else that
could make any
Particular moment
any more
perfect

Nice clean transmission of mood and setting. The kingdom of the mind is the best place to rule.

Nicely absorbed in the moment.
(One of my favorite places to be too!)

I so agree, Julie. There is so much joy in being in nature. Much prefer to Disneyland. Nicely written.

Aahhh really like this one. Gently honorific of nature, and nicely expressed.
Gracias

In my mind are many mansions and roads not traveled. When I stop to relax I explore places I've never been. Sometimes I mind travel when I crave new worlds. Thanks for the beautiful poem.

Oh.... so true!!! I totally agree with you, Julie..
Sitting with nature, and having a conversation with her is comparable to nothing!!
Your imagery here stirred my senses... it was most refreshing!! Thanks for this lovely piece, my friend..

Dear Julie
Indeed a perfect day spent pushing the little ones... I liked the vivid imagery of the verse...
