Earth Seeks To Entertain

"The sounds of Earth Is the Music of my Soul"


Earth Seeks to Entertain

No sound pleases me like falling rain.
When it drums on my roof
It banishes my every pain.
Its little drops both cheer and sooth.

When it hisses majestically out there
And I'm keeping warm indoors
It makes me want to show I care
And I thank the heavens, its source.

Thunder also talks to me
Whether it growls, rumbles or cracks.
Of greatness an epitome
Alone such awesome power packs!

Waterfalls are no less wondrous,
Especially when they are multiple.
Their clamour is continuous,
Playing for us a natural fiddle.

Out in the veld when I hear a croak
From the husky throat of a crow
It dresses my soul like a cloak
And I think: "What a show!"

There's a myriad of healthful sounds
That Earth seeks to entertain with.
The list of these knows no bounds:
Sounds of Earth that scare or sooth!

Thank you for finding time to express appreciation for my humble work. I am exhilarated at having attained a win in the contest. Can I take this opportunity, please, Constance, to enquire (as a newer participant in the privately sponsored contests) as to what follows after one wins as I have done in this instance? I like these contests. I, however, need some enlightenment. All the best, Constance!
