A Poetic Trilogy On Life's Great Beauty

A Poetic Trilogy On Life's Great Beauty

(I.)
Beauty That Many Of Us Oft Miss

Skies dancing above Nature's treasures
With birds flying through its rainbow lights
Greatness, man can not truly measure
After seen, its beautiful delights.

Sunrise, with its bright, radiant dawns
Morn begging, get up to sweet life meet
Mother doe and her new, speckled fawns
Undisturbed as new green grass they eat.

Earth blesses us with Nature's pleasures!

(II)
Wilderness Where Wild Horses Run Free

Wilderness where wild horses run free
Its clear flowing streams gushing along
Prairie flowers feeding honey bees
Cowhands camping out there singing songs.

Cooler winds underneath midnight moon
Sparkling stars bright glowing gasping skies
Such divine beauty makes true heart swoon
As far away heard, a panther cries.

Seen and felt, wherein wild horses be.

(III.)
Yellow Moon Above, Our Friendly Lamp

Peaceful scene beneath heavenly skies
Beloved forest retreat and camp
Watching fire burn as day's catch fries
Yellow moon above, our friendly lamp.

Friends and family having great fun 
For life doesn't get better than this
This does it, no hustling on the run
Sharing a slice of heavenly bliss.

Memories of life's past joyful cries.

Thank you my friend. I call it a sub-form, Lind9999. Being nine rhyming verses, each verse written in nine syllables.

Beauty stems from the infinite wonders of Nature.. Nature, a mysterious creation to explore and learn from.. A poet of grandeur and of exceptional talent meets the "Great Beauty" in highly appreciated and impressive poetic gems.. Robert, you have the gift to fathom Nature and offer your avid reader masterpieces of a new flair! A poetry not only to revel in but also to learn from its beauty and depth! Thank you so much for sharing.. in my fave list.. my deepest regards.. Stay blessed always.

Thank you my dear friend. Your sincere words cheer this old poet's soul. And they have set this heart to completing the second trilogy this morn. I presented it here only a few minutes ago. And it speaks about humanity, this dark world- and Fate's hand in the evil that we mortals too oft deliver upon ourselves! Only true Light can save us from ourselves! And only upon my solo completion of the trilogy did my raging muse finally gave her nod of approval..

Your new poetry form extols the purity and pleasures of Nature; 'the beauty that we oft miss', 'wherein wild horses be', 'Sharing a slice of heavenly bliss', with appreciative and inspiring beauty, Robert. Your new form Lind9999 frames your wondrous poetry perfectly. A trilogy of gems from your golden pen and shining heart. Warmest wishes and a fav, my dear friend.. ~Susan

Thank you my dear friend. Your visit stirred me to finish my second trilogy this morn. And my muse balked at me when I started it as Dark. Not realizing, that one must see Dark and know its evil, in order to truly appreciate the Love and immense blessings within the Light.
