The Countryside Poem by Douglas McClarty

Wide open spaces, breathing freedom
Green fields, hedgerows and trees
Cows that moo, white sheep bleating
Birds, rabbits, foxes, and badgers
Butterflies and honey bees buzzing
Natures art gallery, always open
Always different collections revealed
Colours change as the sky turns blue
Or the red sunsets, then morning dew
Or when the wheat turns golden from green
Painting a unique countryside scene.
Some magic moments when the air is still,
Across the meadow natures show begins
Blackbirds, Robins, Wrens and a Cuckoo
Sing their Spring and summer love songs
No sadness here, only happiness and joy
