Nature Nonsense

NATURE NONSENSE

In the glens
by the fens
little foxes in their dens.

Among the pines
grow the vines
little squirrels use as blinds

In the brook
under foot
little fish caught by the hook.

In the sky
see them try
little eaglets learn to fly.

In the trees 
full of leaves
little bear cubs hide with ease.


In the ponds
among the fronds
little frogs sing their songs.

As I stand
in the sand
I behold nature grand

Nothing wrong with these lines, Oliver, and reading them was a delight. Many thanks for reading my poem my dog's inability to carry on a conversation with me. I talk to him anyway. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M
