Out my back door
And just over my back fence
Is my ocean of green.
Rich fodder crops, quickly grown
They are lush and productive.
In the wind waves streak across them.
The farmer mows and rakes
And in the dead of night
He bails and stores his cash crop,
He leaves the field barren and brown.
Within a week there is regeneration
The ocean of green reappears
Grows deep, home to field mice
Rabbits and a wily fox.
A majestic hawk hovers
Surveying the green carpet
Swoops down for take away.
I know I am fortunate
My green ocean view
Will always be mine.

Thanks Joy, I bet you are looking forward to spring.
Yes, I really am. Our winter has been a little harder than usual with more snow.
You get sick of shovelling I bet.
Yes, sick of shoveling it off my porches.
That’s something I never have to worry about here. The weather is pleasant most of the year.
That’s nice! That would be the ideal climate to live in.
When it is ours even the smallest patch of land can I’ve us the freedom of the ocean..golden and green
