Nature Adorning-Hs

on brink of summer
an eager Painted Lady
first to the party

drifting pollen swathes
golden contours round wood’s edge 
fox cubs exploring 

festooned with blossom 
blackbird trills in paradise 
serenades his world 

ladybird in rain 
slides down slippery palm frond
tiny splash in pool

nature varied in its forms
a wonderful world adorns

Your nature poems are beautiful Peter. I hope you are putting some up for consideration for the Anthology. They make for great reading simply because of the imagery they bring to mind. Cheers - Gary

That’s kind of you Gary. I’ve submitted three poems for the anthology, none of them nature-related or haiku. Time will tell. Good to hear from you. Peter
