Hayfield by Julie Creighton

Julie Creighton is retired and lives with her husband of 50 years on a ranch in central Texas. Although she has always enjoyed reading, Julie's appreciation for poetry really developed late in life. She began writing poetry after a girls' trip where the theme was to bring and share favorite poems. At the end of the weekend, each wrote an original poem to share with the group. Julie enjoyed this new experience so much that she has begun sharing her experiences and thoughts through poetry. Your Daily Poem has moved her to want to share her poems.

I agree. Easy rhythm and unobtrusive rhyme. Plus, these words paint a picture.

The rhythm of this delightful poem had me swaying with the hay - a delightful dance of a poem. Keep them coming Julie.
