My dreams are as lush as verdant grass.
September 6 Prompt:

Verdant Dreams

In the days of my parsimonious youth
I held tight to all I had
But time has brought a certain truth
And I feel eternally sad.

So now it’s time to raise my glass
And tell you all my wish
No longer will I let them trespass
Or tramp my dreams and squish.

I’ll stand my ground and fight
Not feeling any compunction
For this my friends is right
It’s time to make it function.

To build a house deep in the woods
By a lake of clearest blue
Surrounded by the grandeur of hardwoods
And the peace of a marvelous view.

I would write and dream
Fill my world with those I love
This is the verdant gift that would gleam
And fit me like a glove.

20 lines with rhyming.
