Country Living Poem by Smoky Hoss

Country Living

Rating: 5.0


Cats and dogs
Chickens and hogs
Lumps in the 'taters
And bumps on a log -
Stars in the night
The moon shines bright
Crowds pass through the country
Like clouds in flight -
Coffee and curds
Foxes and birds
Slow conversation
With a sweet flow in the words -
Fresh water rippling at the spring
Gives nature such a beautiful ring
Days like these
Have ways of making a heart sing -
Nights are short, days are long
Worries are few, oaks are strong
Living in the country
Is like giving the soul a wonderful song -

country living is very pleasant and stress free, if we have enough of everything! otherwise very tough for the economically deprived people, that is the reason the people come to the town for jobs and better living. well written poem!
