A Morning Walk

Proud the light and falling dew On blossoming fields in airy May Those rosy buds the bees pursue Through the warm and fulgent ray. They flutter by from eye to eye Feeding ears with a common song As happy shone the autumn sky With the clouds that drifts along. As sauntered I, by the river's brink When gladsome Swans would glide There bent I, for the evening drink By the crystal stream expanding wide. A lonely touch wonders sly across On my damp skin and dewy hair Was hues that sail its noonday course As the night time cold approaches near. On this ridged road, a slippery path The sweet breeze had plucked a quill When Blue Jays young, had swift depart To scan the silhouette upon the hill.

Brilliant poem, Mustapha; the first two stanzas especially. My only suggestion would be to omit "a" from "with a common song" and also to omit "the" from "with the clouds". I think it would make it a tad more fluid, but even left as is, it's a beautiful and brilliant poem; enjoyed it immensely :)
