Nice short poem what do you think?

I had a bit of inspiration the other day and was in a surprisingly good mood so I thought I'd share one of my more uplifting poems

star it if you like it :)

Peaceful Days

Do sit with me

Beneath the tree

That so blissfully

Became my home

That once or twice

Or even thrice

Did so suffice

To lay my head

And peace of mind

Did so in kind

My thoughts rewind

And forward go

From blinding light

And deafening night

This tree did fight

And stand its ground

So sit with me

Beneath this tree

That so blissfully

Became my home

Update:

@Greco

you hit the nail on the head, that fourth stanza is sticking out at me like a sore thumb, it just didn't display the imagery I wanted, I will have to tinker with it

it was supposed to be a metaphor for time, the pulsar idea might work

as for the 3rd line first & last stanza, I think you're right, reduce them to 4, I should have noticed that

    Ok! This is a pretty good poem. The not-rhyming "turn" on every fourth line succeeds fine!.

    The 4th stanza is supposed to be the "peak" of the poem (right?), but being keen and effective, failed in the second line (easy to repair). "deafening night" - too unreal. You should write: "and pulsar night"; "pulsar" refers to the light of the stars, and it adheres in there in a better way and the line has 4 syllables.

    From blinding light

    this pulsar night ("and vibrant night" will do, too)

    The tree did fight

    And stand its ground

    Also:

    So sit with me

    Beneath this tree

    That blissfully (<-- 4 syllables - apply in 1st stanza, too)

    Became my home

    Bravo for the fresh and elaborated result in our (alas) pompous world of poetry.

    NO! It is not a real poem. It's short but it isn't a poem this is a great brief poem Wind from the east will crisis you least Wind from the north will trumpet Go Forth Wind from the south will depart you in drouth Wind from the west will put you to rest.
