Shades of Nature
A Pretty Picture
The lake is of beauty.
The pines, majestic are.
The snow is floating softy,
a globe ball shaken round.
The geese fly to warmth.
Squirrels choose to stay.
This paints a pretty picture
of what nature is today.
A Whisper of Bliss
When the sun goes down
and the stars appear,
they twinkle brightly
for the sky is clear.
As the lake shimmers
by the light of the moon,
the lovely swans float
and the bluebells bloom.
A night such as this
bestows on my heart
a whisper of bliss.
May it ne’er depart.
As the River Flows
As the river flows,
flowers find its favor.
Lush ferns line the banks,
both, down and up the river.
A raccoon paws its food.
Butterflies fill the air.
Squirrels store their acorns
as, for winter, they prepare.
A sight such as this
floods the many senses.
A place most delightful,
minus the expenses.
Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaves on the ground,
arrive there after twirling round.
They are joined by leaves on trees
that are falling in the breeze.
.
The beauty of the leaves abounds
as they fall without a sound.
They lay in multi-colored piles
where they make for many smiles.
.
Happy are the children, now,
who pile them up and jump around.
Tis only when it’s time to rake
they all get a tummy ache.
.
Multi-colored leaves prevail
until the branches are all bare.
Even beyond the loss of them,
is knowing that they’ll come again.
