This sounds like a wonderful dream and you have described it vividly descriptively, ie,
"On the riverbank
Where wild flowers grow,
The river runs deep
And the waters run slow."
The poem runs smoothly like the river.

This is a really beautiful piece of writing that really drew me in. There are certainly some dreams I've had, I can think of, that I wish were real. Sometimes they feel so real. An excellent piece, I really enjoyed it.

We all need to make our dreams come true... That is the adventure of a happy life.
There of course are bad times along with the good but working through them is what counts.
I really like the handwriting font you used and the color...very nice poem Willie,

I can fully understand why you'd dream of a beautiful image like that. You describe the scene in such lovely detail that I was surprised it was a dream, not a description of a scene you were actually viewing at the moment. The simplicity of the rhymes works well with the innocent awe the poem expresses.

I was listening to vintage John Denver today, and your poem is every bit as lyrical and in tune with nature as were his songs...

You sum up how much this dream affects you in your final stanza, which leads me to quote J. Denver...

"You fill up my senses!"

Well, Willy, that photo certainly looks like a dream. So beautiful. Your script was well- placed and adds impact to your wonderfully poetic words.

Great job here.

This is pretty good, Willie, until the last stanza. his stanza reads a little awkward. I'll bet you could clean this up. You have a mixed meter in the first four stanzas, but it reads very smoothly. The meter is the problem in the last stanza.

I love to be near any kind of water. Your imagery of flowers on a riverbank is beautiful. Your abcb verses flow well and offer a good feeling to readers. I would like to have a dream like this!
