Bored with Nature

      Bored with nature, I spurned the gay meadow
        Stepped on ladybugs, swatted butterflies
      Turned my back on creation
        Complained of blue skies

      Scorned the sun’s rays, ridiculed the moon
        On a picture-perfect day said, “Go away, June”
      Opened my device to see what I’d missed
        ~ A heart-stopping photo of a lake bathed in mist
