It’s Greener Now – Poem by Me

fern green fields filled with lucky clovers await
ready to be rolled in and jumped on and matted down

by the stomping of young enthusiasm. the rain
came down and flooded through the dirt paths, but 

allowed for this growth of green beauty to take over. 
the hills roll on for miles, like words off my tongue

as i attempt to describe what i've just seen in this 
haven. it's impossible, so i bring you here to see for

yourself. my paradise becomes your paradise and we 
sit in the grass and talk and laugh because it's a place

out of a movie and we need to act accordingly. 

I hope you enjoyed this piece! It’s definitely not based off of my personal experiences, although it is greener in southern California compared to when we had the drought a few years ago. However, I absolutely love seeing greenery and I hope to move to a place that’s not as hot and very green someday. Please let me know if you have any feedback on this piece or any writing challenges you’d like me to try out in the near future. Stay safe and healthy.

Brooke
