Meadow's Choice (Inspirational Poem 2026)

Inspirational Poem Intro:

Here's another inspirational poem. I thought I'd take something as banal as grass, which we take for granted, and explore its everyday presence. 

I find it amazing when we pause to consider the ordinary, only to uncover the depth of beauty we so easily overlook.

So, here it is:

Meadow's Choice

Everywhere extending, all land within its reach

But not unaffected by the travails of life 

'Tis vulnerable to human and animal touch

Though blessed by sun and wet, whether rain,

sleet or snow as such

Rested upon, sat upon, taken for granted indeed

Everywhere green, its beauty not breathtaking 

Unless adorned with the prairie's blossom

And unabashed it still remains offering its grassy strands

to embrace and immerse with a lover's rest

Steeped in silence, it never complains

'Tis free to experience the tending or cruelty of each

But its grassy presence, its omnipresence

Has special friends too, those who on its greenery chew

and fond overlords tall with sprawling  upward limbs that crawl

Its skyward chums peck beneath it to feed

Wriggling worms their welcoming beaks do greet

Buttercups and daisies giggling children pick

Flower chains they're sporting, making the grassy coating

a place of merriment so sweet. 

And so...
