This is the first free verse poem I wrote.



A World of Dreams

I watch the sky, all its soft hues,
The haze of silver over the hill.
To my left the fir grove stands,
Whispering wishes of good will.


In dusk the lilac bush blooms full,
The ever present sent so sweet.
Growing faint as winds fall still,
A lovelier smell I'll never meet.

I listen to the lullaby,
Of ocean waves far away.
A single songbird's melodious cry,
Marks the end of another day


And all the while I sit right here,
A prayer of thanks for all these things.
Of nothing could I ever fear,
In my World of Dreams.

It’s lovely, and has such vivid imagery! If I might offer one small correction :

The ever present scent so sweet.

Oh my gosh, that's amazing!!!
