Poem
One fine autumnal afternoon, I set out sauntering Along country paths that lay rugged and meandering To see Nature, not in her cultivated neatness But in her stark nakedness and innate sweetness Passing fields of corn with golden ears Peeping out from their leafy covers, I entered the woods with trees of sober yellow and green That with a medley of life presented a lovely scene Here Nature wore a rich golden brocade livery And the sky above was seen decked in clouds silvery I could still hear the bark of squirrels from behind the maize Busy gathering corn and nuts for the lousy winter days Files of wild ducks flew higher into the air And twittering black birds created such fanfare Robins fluttered chirping from bush to bush Wild herons took off on their wings with a swish From tree tops, songsters were singing merry notes In the glades was grazing a flock of tawny deer with white dots Some trees had flowers hanging in oppressive opulence While some bore yellowing leaves and fruits of ripe succulence In the vast bosom of the woods was a sequestered pool Motionless and glassy it lay with crystal clear waters cool Now and then with small undulations and circular patterns And the shadow of trees, reminding one of blue cloth in tatters Lost in that secluded quiet, I stood motionless and long Losing count of time on lovely scenes clustering in throng Each time those sights came before my eyes in queue In me a hundred blossoms of joy unfolded their crimson hue October. 28.2022 Your Favorite Rhyming Poem from the Second half of 2022 Poetry Contest Sponsor- Julia Ward 2022.
