Deep Green Forest

Far into the deep green forest there is a lady slipper Blooming all alone in the trees a delicate sight to see As if a princess left it there on the lovely walking path When the prince swept her off her feet a trace of love, still behind Near gurgling brooks and waterfalls splashes of joy all around Here within the deep green forest blooming love is to be found Heidi Sands 2/4/22

The poem's rhythm is easily understandable, Heidi. I adored your illustration of this flower that resembles a pair of woman's shoes. Warm hugs.

Indeed they are delicate, feminine and colorful! Much enjoyed your description of this flower that looks like lady's slippers --aptly described by you as having been left by a princess. You bring forth the imagery of of brooks and waterfalls beautifully in this lovely nature poem.

Deep green, brown, orange etc. are all so alluring. I guess the memory of earth in our DNA. "Here within the deep green forest blooming love is to be found" Beautiful! I think that when we quiet everything else, get back to our roots, closer to our natural source -- there is only love. Joe.
