Early Spring In the Meadow

Strolling down through the meadow today Spring flowers are budding, growing tall, Smaller forest creatures will be out to play. At the far end the woodland recovers from fall, I can hear a slight wind blow through the trees Spring flowers are budding, growing tall. Nothing is more refreshing than a spring breeze Filling my congested lungs with the freshest air, I can hear a slight wind blow through the trees. Near the edge of the forest a fox leaves it lair, And I watch it creep slowly toward its prey Filling my congested lungs with the freshest air. It makes me sad, but it’s just nature’s way, Knowing little rabbit will become a fox’s meal And I watch it creep slowly toward its prey. I watch the unfolding drama, breathless still, Strolling down through the meadow today Knowing little rabbit will become a fox’s meal, Smaller forest creatures will be out to play.

When technique meets knowledge, the result is this beautiful poetry. Interesting how inspirational a text can be... The truth is that each poetry posted becomes something contagious, it seems to oblige us to write too.
