Mother Nature Showed Me Many Styles

Mother Nature Showed Me Many Styles Yesterday, I walked a thousand miles Over hill and dale, through the verdant wood Saw baby ducks walk by in quacking file Did not stop to rest or maybe I should Came to the old elm, now looks to be dead But the bird nest above looks to be new This old mind searching to get rid of dread Then I thought I heard a soft voice but who Searching about but nothing could I find But Mother Nature and her great wonders Just enough to appease wondering mind I next sat down to that odd thought ponder. Yesterday, I walked a thousand miles. Mother Nature showed me many styles. Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet 6-23-2023 Note- Finding such beauty, and know life is so precious. I walked back home a bit renewed. A blessing methinks.

Robert, your sonnet capturing the wonders of nature is simply lovely. The act of immersing oneself in the natural realm serves as a profound source of inspiration for the written word, provided we possess the capacity to truly behold and marvel at its inherent beauty.

Thank you, my friend. Yes, Nature can if we let it teach us so much while it entertains us too. Native Americans knew that. And they were just fine warring with other tribes over land/hunting rights as long as the stone age existed. Nature to them was a religion. God bless.

Nature walks serve us as positive inspiration to write if we open our eyes to appreciate the beauty. Your Sonnet did just that for me, Robert.
