Nature can live without humans, but humans can’t live without nature. Fascinatingly, life has been very manageable and worthwhile with the help of the breathtaking wonders of nature, from the food one eats, to the house one lives in, and to the clothes one wears. Nature itself is downright spectacular and there’s more to life if we learn to love and appreciate its beauty.

leaves gracefully dance as if the wind tickles them leaves giggle with glee

I giggled as i read the titled, hah! So cute! And so adorable. Nature is so soothing and is healing, somehow i always find an answer hidden in nature, whenever i feel lost. I agree with your thoughts and also I absolutely loved the way you’ve written “ leaves gracefully dance” and “ wind tickles them” “ giggle with glee” it takes a beautiful eye and mind to see beauty in everything. Every season, every color! Love this poem so very much . Queen of haiku u are

The vivid imagery in this piece is absolutely captivating, as I can almost envision the vibrant leaves dancing joyously in response to the gentle caress of a balmy breeze. The personification employed here, Sara, is truly delightful.
