Transformation

Born in a valley's secluded mountain range Wandered along the rivers clear Knelt in havens carved in a forest Escaped to dwell at ocean's shore Enticed to follow budding dreams And there, while chasing butterflies The barren desert bloomed

I love the use of nature in a poem. This poem says a lot in a few lines, very decriptive, another good one here Karen! MC

oh goodie, I found one right here. I love how you included the butterfly because it's a metaphor in itself for transformation!

Dear Karen, This is quite the Visual I live on a mountain above a Valley there is a brook that carves Havens through the forest. Vermont-land locked ; no ocean. but I am enticed to dream and chase butterflies. I have seen the barren desert bloom when I lived in Nevada. YOU are so very Amazing I LOVE this.This may not mean anything to YOU but YOUR POETRY is very Inspiring. I enjoy walking through YOUR Words, analizing the Why of the World in Electrical Fashion.I LOVE YOU ALWAYS and FOREVER

I am always amazed by poets who can pack so much imagery into a handful of short lines. As a true nature lover, I find this poem stunning. The last line is perfect!
