    Nature

     

    Sitting in the field so still
    Watching the small whip o will
    Flitting , floating in the air
    Landing here without a care
    Singing out its lilting trill.

    The meadow is alive with sound
    From the trees, to the ground
    Chattering , chirping sounds of life
    Lovely, without worldly strife
    The wonderful joy of nature abounds

    The deer are grazing in the field
    To the city they soon will yield
    Bustling , busy,  creeping forth
    Not realizing natures worth
    Sadly the worlds fate is sealed

    Why, oh why does man invade
    The ever beautiful forest glade
    Cant we see the life within
    Free from the taint of human sin
    Look around at the mess we made

    As I enjoy evenings  lullabye
    My heart emits a mourn filled sigh
    Knowing that we will destroy
    And treat the world like our toy
    Into the wind, I say goodbye.

    I was just thinking the other day, how long it had been since I heard a cricket. When I was a kid, even though I lived in the city (albeit a tree lined block), you could hear crickets chirping every evening during the spring and summer months. Now I don't even hear 'em on TV. Ha ha, I'm supposed to be critiquing your poem and here I am yammering about crickets. It's your fault... the poem did it ha ha. 10!

    LOL but that is a GOOD thing. I think we forget about what we are missing. City dwelling people sometimes dont know what they are missing. Nature sounds are the most wonderful sounds of all!!!
