Notes About The Poem

Britain's next big environmental battle | New Internationalist

In My Woodland

by late dusk, I commune with the fresh wonders of nature
inhabiting reverence from a well-designed woodland.

how an avian rhapsody greets me through mellow chants
where comfort of quiet soothes tired soul in this lined woodland.

and potpourri of blossoms, grass, and redstones breathes in me
creating divine linkage...  one with a refined woodland.

laying on its tapestry, new stars glint behind pampas
as vault of luster reels unto an unconfined woodland

lo! rustle of twigs through winds’ hum is felt only here
that I step outside myself in bliss of enshrined woodland.

whatever mystery lies in this realm, I’ll never know
still, air imbues dignity upon undefined woodland.

hesitant to leave this sweet home which gifts me inner peace
I grasp varnished rocks… cuddling a part of my kind woodland.

Nette, your amazing pen spills with deep affection for the beauty of Nature. You are one with the woodland and I am there in the wonderland with you. Exquisite artistry shines in your appreciative emotion and vivid imagery. Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you.. ~Susan
