Notes About The Poem

Edward Ibeh's Pick-A-Title, Vol 54 Contest...2 Sept 2025

Nature of the Beast

Woodland to saunter
Braced up across hilltops,
Tendrils of leaves curl like locks 
Fresh the mist sprinkling my face. 
An airspray of radiant mist
Flows on her grasses evergreen
Till birdland stirs and whistles.. 
Joy in her field's embrace.

Velvet lays on ground 
My dream-like eyes twinkle, 
While blooms come dancing 
A raucous merry-go-around;
The light tap on the skin, 
Curious heart so ravenous
Through every magical whim.

Somewhere to surrender, 
Melting down my cheeks
Upon the forest floor
The nature of my inner beast 
Drips from thrill of wonder
From rare absence of reason,
A moment where innocence drifts
In wilderness ' arms blessing seasons,
The childlike creature in me
Soars into ladders of  bliss!
