My heart desires Open green fields Flowers swaying gaily Butterflies fluttering joyously Gentle blowing wind A brook gurgling Hammock rocking between trees Me with a book swinging Birds and insects chirping Nary a care troubling My heart desires idyll My heart desires heaven 🤩 Buddy Mantra Challenge #BMPastoralpoem 🎀 Write a Pastoral poem. A pastoral poem explores the fantasy of withdrawing from modern life to live in an idyllic rural setting. All pastoral poetry draws on the tradition of the ancient Greek poet Theocritus, who wrote romanticized visions of shepherds living rich and fulfilled lives. No matter the form or structure the poetry takes, this focus on idyllic country life is what characterizes it as pastoral poetry.
