Reading Outdoors

 

Oh, the many benefits

of reading outdoors:



The sun shining brightly

on the pages of your book.


Tree shadows passing

over the paragraphs.



Perhaps golden leaves

landing in your lap.


A small choir of birds

singing in the background.



Or a clamorous crowd of geese

causing you to look up.


Occasional bursts of wind

turning the pages for you.



Dragonflies landing on the lines,

walking on the words.


Maybe a cool stream

trickling over your toes.


Or the sound of gentle ripples

entering your ears.


All these welcome distractions

affecting your concentration.



Causing you to get paper and pen.

Following the urge to write outdoors.
