Medley of Scenery Contrasts

Mushrooms 
and 
meadows
Sunshine 
and 
shadows

Gentle 
ripples on 
the calm 
river
Foaming 
rapids in 
white 
water
 
The jungle 
echoes in 
the semi-
darkness
while 
daylight 
creepy 
crawlies 
clear the 
mess.

Peasants 
seen 
toiling and 
pheasants 
go 
scratching
as I spy a cricket kinda' 
somersaulting

The cactus in 
imagination, the 
desert's prickly 
femmefatale
Elsewhere a lone fallen 
leaf 
floats in the canal

Prairie dogs go popping
while hares go hopping
But in town, ladies go 
shopping

Swans have formed a V-
line
The flora is ooh yes 
divine
and bees they form a 
bee-line!

Seista seizes birdlovers 
too
They miss out on the 
hoopoe's 
song
for the hoopoe it does 
not sing 
on cue
since a bird may sing 
anytime 
to woo

Gosh what a contrasted 
medley became of the 
scenery
Town and jungle, the 
eve's 
murk or dawn's greenery.

Ah wherever you go 
nature's 
so panoramic
Painters paint pictures 
but God 
actually created what's 
picturesque!

Stunning! I loved all the chaos of natural scenery and rural life. There's so much going on, that it's hard to imagine, and yet all the somewhat contradicting details made for a great picture full of happenings. It's true what you say... we are all copiers of the one great originality... God.
