I really enjoyed this 3-liner! Backroad bliss is such a valid statement, isn't it? The poem as a whole flowed well and made sense. Well done!

hello
this is a good wee poem...though now I have an ear worm of John Denver's Country roads...geez.

Vut your poem has that whistfulness that sits inmany of us who live away from our homeland.

I like your rhyme of "bliss" with "reminisce." There's something magical about the wind that can make us remember. I like that you say that it's the "pine air" which gives us the scent of pine, bringing memories. Best wishes in the contest!

I grew up in Michigan out in the country. I saw many wild Tiger Lilies and always loved them. Nothing is more beautiful. We also saw Jack in the Pulpit and the simplest Daisy's, in white and yellow; also so beautiful in their own way. I am happy you chose this to remind me of the simple beauty of natures. Beautiful work!

    A guy thinned out my forest a couple years ago, so I am looking forward to some pretty forest flowers if I can ever get back to Vermont haha..
    Thanks for the review, cheers, j

Your words put me right there ... driving along with the top down, feeling the wind blow through my hair and inhaling that sweet country air. Nicely done. Smiles, Carol
