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.

Note- Finding such beauty, and know life is so precious.
I walked back home a bit renewed. A blessing methinks.

Sotto Poet June 23, 2023 at 6:42 AM 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. Robert Lindley June 23, 2023 at 8:35 AM 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.

Lin Lane June 23, 2023 at 6:31 AM 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. Robert Lindley June 23, 2023 at 8:32 AM Thank you, my good friend. I am truly mighty pleased that you enjoyed it. God bless.
