Love of Nature

Under canopy of majestic oaks, leaves swaying, gentle breeze, rustling of the dancing leaves, flying chirps, all species, joyous laughter, melodic sounds, like violins, bees abound, peace surrounds in backyard paradise. As I partake of nature’s scene, eyes affix whites, magnolia high, reminisce of mother in the sky. Lessons of nature, she did give, exploration through wooded path, wild flowers we did name, birds’ identity, toadstools find, love of nature by her design. Won HM in Mac McGovern's Best Poem Contest June 10, 2010

This poem evokes a very relaxing, peaceful scene. I like the image of you as a very young girl going for a walk with your mother through or near the woods and having her point out the different flowers and critters observed along the way. I imagine you might have picked berries along the way. I pictured you alone with your mother, although I know you have siblings, and I wonder where they might have been.
