I sat on a hillside
freshly mowed
and watched the river bend

I bought some land
for my eternal slumber
where eternity and I will blend

Tall pines rise
along the forest rim
like sentries against the wind

A lone big oak
shades the sun’s showers
filled with moss tencil thin

Six feet south
by the rivers mouth
surrounded by woods and a farm

A nice serene scene
for my last day dream
wrapped in mother earth’s arms

it's a good poem

Sure, it may need a little more tweaking, but many poems do.

This one part may need one less rhyming word:

A nice serene scene

for my last day dream

I think serene scene isn't working (in this poem).

Once again, it's a good poem! :)

What Imp. said

This is a good poem and paints a lovely picture, but it

does read off a little. I'm being burned and thrown out

of an SUV at high tide at 25mph, but I do like this

plot you have pictured here.

Although ...

... I struggled a little bit with the cadence, I loved the feel of this verse. It reminded me of my grandfather's plot on a bend in the Ohio River. Thanks. ~Imp
