Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Common Ground

We share a love of nature, of the birds and the bees,
a warm zephyr breeze that blows through palm trees

The seasons inspire us to write of beautiful blooms
so vividly described, you almost smell their perfumes

Depicting a sunset as if painted by Monet in the skies
set down into words, as seen through our poetic eyes

Vast oceans and lakes, huge mountains and hills
These subjects just flow from our poetry quills

Our words bring us together, although we’re oceans apart
A bond we’ll always share, poetry just written from the heart



What do we have in common Contest

kEYWORDS Poetry, nature
