all tiredness and stress evaporate
as tranquility blankets my landscape
space to ruminate to truly penetrate
such calm is crucial to obliterate
those worldly distractions that frustrate
mind and body gently ease to anticipate
everything I can and should appreciate
blissfulness the ultimate escape!
dVerse, tranquillity in 44 words, Lillian
I can feel the calmness in your words and in between the lines Kate. Lovely sweet surrender.

thanks Miriam, it really is such a rewarding past-time … can’t imagine any better altho rollicking in Rawling must be a close second 🙂

Beautiful…but you haven’t included the word “tranquility” (or a form of the word IE tranquil) in the body of the poem. The poem must include the word; not just be about the word. You can easily substitute tranquility for calmness or calm in the first stanza and you will have met the requirements of the prompt.
