For POETS UNITED Midweek Motif ~ Writing POETRY ~ Nature is Poetry ~

a tiny green leaf, a tiny worm crawling up a tree
trunk, struggling slipping moving up again, life
in its minutest form is beautiful
it inspires awe strikes the eye
touches the heart and soul

 when thoughts transform into words

it becomes the poem of  poetry

see the tree form a pattern 

see the colors of the sky

see the curve of the hillside

and follow the sunlight and the shade
through the valley across the glade

how dwellings are made
gardens laid and flowers planted
fragrance  embedded fruit granted

all these bright and beautiful things

are natures poetic wings

and so I pick up my pen

sometimes my paint brush

and try to capture the truth I see

the real as it is in light and hue

if I have the words I may do good
if I have the love and the feeling

and gratitude fills my soul

I may be a writer and a poet

for  all nature is beautiful in form and scenery

water sea land or tree

All nature is majestic ,all Nature is poetry
