Glowing flame crowns the silent trees

as the evening sun sits on

the far and distant horizon.

Tis a simple and quiet scene

to gaze upon serenity.

Such soothing gentleness imparts

a hidden smile touching each heart

of all those who seek to witness

the hushed splendor of nature’s rest;

peace found in its’ tranquility.

 

I just took the challenge of writing my first decima poem in which I must use the word “smile” in one of the “c” lines.  The poem is ten lines with the following rhyming pattern: abbaaccddc. Each line is 8 syllables. If you want to give this challenge try, here is the link to learn all about it:
