Poetic Influences

Elements swirling in motion,
Music in splashes and streams!
Waterfall, wild rushing river,
Nature is stirring up dreams.

Fog on the shores of illusion,
Mixing with mist from the seas.
Whispering wind o’er the coastline,
Verses aloft in the breeze.

Grandeur of sunrise and sunset,
Moonbeams that light up the soul,
Echoes of rhyme in a thunder,
Nature is playing Her role.

Dewdrops demanding attention,
Flowers and foliage unfurled,
Rain dripping down in a meter,
Poetic design in our world.

    From ‘Elements swirling in motion’, to ‘Poetic design in our world’, this is a beautiful, thoughtful poem, each stanza well measured, well laid out and poignant.

    Lovely stuff, Margaret. Thanks for the read.

    Margaret, your poem was inspired and inspiring to us! It seems you encompassed so many great images of nature that should engender poetic rhapsody. There were so many great phrases regarding nature I hesitate to pick one as my favorite.
