A Country Drive Poem by Marilyn Lott
A Country Drive
I took a little drive one day
Out in the country where I live
The peace I felt as I drove along
Showed my world had much to give
I saw a windmill operating
The way a windmill should
I looked at the cliffs that loomed above
From a place I’ve often stood
I drove on down the road a ways
And there before my eyes
A schoolhouse broken into pieces
I guess that’s not a surprise
For time has lost the battle
With structures built long ago
Nothing can last forever
This schoolhouse shows it so
Over there was once a homestead
Several families once lived within
It served to house many lifetimes
It’s usefulness now dim
Then there it was, that famous barn
Blood red is the amazing color
It’s quite a landmark, you know
For uniqueness there is no other
Did you ever think about the beauty
You find driving out in the country?
I can’t think of any way
To spend a day more peacefully!
Across the nations it is nice to see similar thoughts in words spun into poetry...
Hi Marilyn. I must say I prefer a country drive more than a trip to the beach, any day. Good read and another pleasant memory. Loyd
The engaging beauty of your countryside brought to life by your lovely work. Wish i could travel along in peace there.
Your countryside 's charmingly discreet for the readers at large who live in the jungles of concrete the windmill, the barn and the broken school the paint a picture seren and cool someday I shall drive through it too for the time being your poem shall do.......
Lovely, I could almost be in the car with you. I see these sights everytime I go for a drive here in the midwest. I wrote one called the Visit and it has the same flavor as yours. Nice poem, T
