By a Mountain Stream I like to halt on a strenuous hike to dream And rest a while by a mountain stream, Listening to the different notes the waters sing Swishing, swashing, splashing and murmuring. I could live happily, high on a mountain wing Close by the tumbling waters of an alpine spring, Within hearing of the myriad tones merrily playing Rippling, trickling, gurgling and rushing. I love to tarry on the broad mountain flank Or sitting in an alpine glade on a stream bank, Watching the varying light the tumbling waters bring Sparkling, glittering, foaming and dashing. I could happily stay forever by a mountain stream Where the air and the water are so clear, fresh and clean, Immersed in the sights and sounds the water makes In it’s eternal rhythm of crystal and white cascades.

The hills are alive with the sound of music. Keep on posting your poems Roy.
Hello, Roy! You inspired me so much by telling that my poem has reawakened you and it is the best you have seen for months. Your words have certainly flattered me, but...I think that you are a very kind man. I would love you to check out (when time permits of course) at http://www.poetryfromodessa123.jymdo.com and I would really appreciate your opinion and feedback. With warmest wishes, Larisa

thanks for your kind comments on 'war boys' Roy - I'm pleased that you liked it - it's been recorded with a musical backing as part of an album release I'm working on in tribute to WW1 - I've also blogged some of the other poems on WOL earlier in the year - and more yet to come
