John Lawless Poet Free verse

An Osprey Circles

An osprey circles
Hoping I will find a fish for him
A beaver slaps its tail
Yodels to its young
Turtles lounge in the sun
As Swans and Geese negotiate
A doe and fawn cautiously 
Observe my passing
A blue Heron appears
Undisturbed by my presence
Soft breezes tickle the lily pads
As the Dragonflies dance

Daniel Henry Rodgers June 6, 2025 at 6:15 AM Hello John, you beautifully captured the quietness of nature’s everyday moments. I love how each creature feels alive and connected, from the osprey’s hopeful circling to the dragonflies’ delicate dance. Such a gentle invitation to slow down and truly see the world around us. Spring Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Lin Lane June 5, 2025 at 10:23 AM Back to nature and among the wildlings. Sounds much more serene than being in the soup nowadays where what's being served is indigestible. Ok... I'll turn and walk away to find my own tranquil space. ;-)
