Flowers Adorning Deep Prairie Sunsets

Flowers Adorning Deep Prairie Sunsets

Heard morning dove in her opening song,
she flew onto a weeping willow branch.
Somehow feeling in Nature I belong,
blessed was I, working that cattle ranch.

There are mighty hills resting far out West,
such Titans grace bluest western skies.
Here Nature, earth, and sky present their best,
giving true answers to how, when and why's.

No stranger to Nature's great scenic views,
I find western lands match any and all.
Life in this vast land one pays heavy dues,
yet can readily answer Nature's call.

Flowers adorning deep prairie sunsets,
colors in rainbow hues, good as it gets!

I think you have a knack for these sonnets, and you picked a strong title, for that's the line the stood out most to me in this piece. A wonderful nature poem! Have you ever attempted writing sonnets using different rhyme schemes? They can also be fun sometimes.
