There is something about the woods
Behind my house, that makes them peaceful.
With the city in the distance
I have plenty of room to think.
Just ahead I see a mountain
As I look up at the bright, blue sky.
Scattered clouds in the sky
Are gliding away from the woods
And the mountain.
I am thankful for this peaceful
Moment for giving me time to think
And keeping noises in the distance.
With my dog running in the distance
I glance up at the sky
And think
About the woods
And how it is so peaceful
And about that beautiful mountain.
The mountain
Is still in the distance
So peaceful
Touching the sky
Coming out of the woods.
It is a special place to think.
As I climb the mountain, I think.
When I reach the very top of the mountain
I scan the woods
Now in the distance
Below a colorful sky
Making this moment even more peaceful.
This moment can’t get any more peaceful
I think
As I stare forward at the sky.
I spot another mountain
In the distance
Above the woods.
For the last time, I look up to the sky
And the mountain off in the distance,
And know the woods is a peaceful place to think.
Great poem Casey! I'm Brooklynn and I too love the mountains. My Dad and I often go on hiking trips in the rockey mountains in the summertime. It is one of my favourite things to do do and your writing reminded me of it! Do you like to go on hiking trips? Do you really have a forest right behind your house or did you just make it up in the poem?
ReplyDeleteHey Brooklynn, yes I do like to go on hiking trips and I try to do it at least 5 times a year. Also, yes I do have a forest right behind my house and most people in Maine do, Maine is full of forests! :)

This is something I do frequently. There is a mountain in the woods behind my house and I like to climb it a lot.
