Inspired By Nature

~~~ by Francine Roberts~~~
                 26/07/2011



 I 
begin
with ideas
brought by nature.
Nature fills me with sweet serenity.

It is my poetry's inspiration.
Sunsets, daybreaks,
waterfalls
bring me
joy.

                Poetry Comes From" contest ~~~

Nature truly is a wonderful source of inspiration, Joyce. I do my best writing outdoors, usually at the beach. Waterfalls do seem to bring my joy as well, though we have none here. It's a rare treat to see them. Wishing you success in Michael's contest! Love, Carolyn

they're not rare here, waterfalls everywhere, off the banks along side the highway, in the parks, all over the place
