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.
