Pastoral

Zigzag road is leading me forward.
Birch and Pan Trees wave at me.
They smile and dance.
Fruits of orange trees dangle like lanterns.
Foliage of maples as beautiful as fireworks.
Fresh air and cozy atmosphere.
A cloud of vapor emits from a chimney.
Din from a village afar.
A whole day of serenity.

Rhyming: Peaceful

A rode of cobblestones.
Decorated with trees with giant cones.
Fresh air,
Bright sunshine.
Disturbed by a group of clones.
I picked up a couple of stones.
And inspect them.
See their texture rinsed by the river.

It may extinguish.
It waves at me with its golden lining.
Hot like fire and beautiful like a flower.

I come closer.
Hot like fire and beautiful like a flower.
There I go.

Solitude on the wooden table.
By a master who designs cable.
