Picture Perfect

A road in it’s beauty

no begining or end,

a young boy is waving

to his family or friend;

the sky and the clouds

at the top of the scene,

with a lake in the foreground

all calm and serene.

The distant mountains

so prominent and blue,

to make this scene permanent

it would only take glue;

and in the meadow

a house so small,

beside it, the boy

a horse, and a stall.

The boy with no hand

I place on the mare’s muzzle,

and I’ve finally finished

my jig-saw puzzle!

Matk, I'm happy my poem gave you a smile. I sat down because I had an urge to write, but then found I had nothing to write about. So, I started with a few lines to see where they might take me.Has that ever happened to you? More often than not, I end up with used scratch paper! Thanks for your kind words, Doc.

Doc you must be kidding

I was perfectly convinced that you were writing as you were putting a puzzle together - a jigsaw puzzle This is just awesome creativity! Thanks again, Mark L

Speaking of "puzzles"...

I thank you, again. But, here is a true puzzle I'm dealing with. I can't for the life of me, upload a picture to put with my profile! Not so creative NOW, am I ?! Doc.

This one kept me guessing....

Hi Doc Maverick I am fast becoming an avid reader of your work, your writing tells a story to me, sometimes it makes me smile, and sometimes it will bring tears to my eyes. This one had me guessing especially when it came to the line about the boy with no hand LOL very nicely written. Thank you Kind regards Feebie Mistakes happen, do not dwell on them, live them, mourn them and move on to better things. (PS: if that does not work eat lots and lots of chocolate)

Feebie, I sat down one day, because I had an urge to write. But I soon found out I had nothing with which to write about. Has that ever happened to you? Well, I started with a few lines, and waited to see where they'd take me...and I ended up with this. More often than not, I end up with used scratch paper! Thanks for the kind words, Doc.
