Till the end no one knew you were describing a dream. I thought you were on an evening walk to the river side. I have also been walking with you enjoying th fleet of speed boats and fishing boats, watching the ducks, geese and seagulls foraging food and enjoying the sight of butterflies flitting from flowers. Indeed a lovely walk. But at the end when you curled under the blanket to continue dreaming, I felt I have been fooled! However happy for the great feel you gave.10+++
I did get tricky at the end but I thought it would give a bigger punch to the summer walk to have it contrasted with winter- -forgive me for the surprise but I think you enjoyed the walk anyway! ! ! !
well done for this fantastic way of writing and art technique you have used it here: music from a concert dancing on the breeze- such a beautiful day and such a beautiful place to walk- then we get confused whether it was a dream or the reality within the dream when we come to the end: I roll over and try to fall back into the dream of summer walks by the river. 10+++thanks for sharing
Nothing better on a cold winter's night than a dream of a warm summer walk - -unless it is a dream of a horseback ride... thank you for the 10 and the kind words
A wonderful write, beautifully written, you have created reality from a dream!
What a beautifully expressed comment- that's cuz you're a beautiful poet! ! ! ! Thank you, my dear!
Thank you for the 10, dear friend, but thank you even more for reading and commenting.
through the sub-freezing temperatures and blocking the driveway and the front door so I roll over and try to fall back into the dream of summer walks by the river.......touching expression on summer walk. A beautiful poem amazingly shared. .
Very sublime, Susan...a dream that discerns instead of a dream that antagonizes or worries or resolves problems. It isn't a fantasy; you've experienced such a time, and that day will come again in a few months. Very powerful observation about the real power of dreaming....A 10, and most excellent.
Thank you for this uplifting comment- -you do that so well- uplifting and encouraging us to keep on scaling the mountain and trying our wings. And thank you for the 10! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
After a long pause when we go on a walk we really enjoy every steps we take and thanks the Almighty to restore our health and keep us going. An inspiring poem, nicely written.10+++
He certainly gave us beautiful countrysides to walk through and enjoy His handiwork! Thank you for reading and commenting

Rebecca! ! ! Thank you for reading this! I thought you would like the twist at the end! ! ! Thank you for your encouragement and starry eyed 10's! ! ! ! !
A surprise at the end! And for sure one dreams of summer in the midst of snowmageddon. Hoping this finds you well, the hip getting better, Glen
Snowmaggeddon! ! ! ! ! ! What a fitting word for this winter. Sorry but I'n just going from one health issue to another. Hmmm... maybe I'm a Medicalmessmaggeddon! ! :)
A lovely visual delight! . Your superb poem was abuzz of activity and I loved the ducks looking for people snacks! . When I read about your sore hip though, I totally can empathise as I suffer from osteoarthritis hips, knees, and back which gives me daily pain but I try to keep positive and active.
Hahahaha- My favorite line was about those pesky squabbling seagulls mugging people! ! ! Thank you for your good wishes- -I am falling apart so regularly I'm a deep dark pit for good people's good wishes! ! ! ! But at least my imagination can still take a walk! ! !
Hello, Susan. Popped in to see what you and your pen have been up to. A lovely scene conceived and delivered, and you suckered me into the dream as well, then pulled the rug out from under. Nicely done! All the best, dear. S.
Oh, good, a willing victim for my atrocious trickery! ! ! So many shake their head at me- -sigh- -but you raised my spirits with your comment

I thank you very much for an extraordinarily lovely comment on this poem! ! ! !
It was already dark when I saw your poem, here. Curious how the room lit up! Just knowing you and your wonderful poetry are near.
What a beautiful beautiful uplifting comment. You are such a remarkable human being, friend, and lover of the written word! ! ! Thank you so much for this so uplifting little poem comment! !
Good Poet's lives Are made of feelings, love and words And those that shine the most Are they, that can display The beating feeling of their hearts, With words that hypnotize, No matter what they say. And that is the way your poems are Dear Susan, always welcomed stars.
My dear Sandra, you are such a remarkable member of PH- -a beautiful poet, a beautiful commentator on other poet's poems, an encourager, and a lover of people and their words! Thank you for your kindness and encouragement- you keep me going! ! !
Wonderful and cheerful dreams of walking in life’s pleasantries, so good to see you posting Susan! ! !
It is hard for me to get a good connection to PH- takes 20 minutes to get a comment posted.
But I just cannot lose contact with you all so I'll keep plugging and trying to respond to my good friends like you

A dream of a summer walks by the river, so beautifully expressed by you, dear Poetess. I too, dream of walks along the river but as you have rightly pointed out, the hip and the legs begin to feel heavy with pain. Then, it is no more a dream walk. I loved the poem for its beauty of nature and honest flow of emotion....Thank you Susan, , , ,10
Ah Geeta! ! Wouldn't i be wonderful if the world was safe again and we could meet and go for a walk and discuss poetry and people and all things good and wonderful! ! !
