This poem, Blessed with Beauty, pulls the abundance of beauty from the surroundings and expands the heart as one considers the joyous situation of labor, freedom, and love for all that is here.

An excellent entry for the Happy Poems writing prompt. Is there any place happier than a country field in the summer time? This reminds me of the fields I played in growing up in Wisconsin. You couldn't help but look up and say thank you. Nice job.

Your vivid use of words takes the reader out into nature and like the farm boy, one has a break from the world to take in nature's beauty. Love your first verse where the flowers are like live characters having fun. There is definitely a good feeling in your words.

Hi

This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!

I enjoyed this poem because it's about nature. I often write about nature, but I can't be in nature anymore because of my disabilities.

I like the image you chose It fits the poem very well

My husband's grandfather owned a farm in New Hampshire in the US

My husband, as a little boy, would go visit him and he made my husband feel special

He let him drive the tractor drive the truck and just explore like a little boy does

So I think some of the feelings you have, my husband might've shared. I have never been on a farm so I only know it from movies and TVs and through what my husband has told me and now what you have told me.

I appreciate the education

I enjoyed reading your poem

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

A wonderfully written expression of scenery and the Earth. I enjoyed the author's perspective on the tinting of the clouds. I felt like I could reach up and touch it. Thank your for your contribution.
