Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

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

Vijay Pandit February 4, 2022 at 2:04 PM 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. Heidi Sands February 4, 2022 at 2:22 PM Thank you Vijay. Nice to see your kind feedback tonight.

Joseph P. DiMino February 4, 2022 at 1:21 PM 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.
