Notes About The Poem

Nature Walk

As I walk by the bubbling brook 
fixated on intricate crannies and nooks       
quaint voices encircle, relaying rhyme 
in a plethora of rhythms, perfectly timed

Adonis blue butterflies flaunt their wings
messages ensue as four swallows swing                                                                    
in between worlds, swept into a dream
as one finds a path up the sunlit stream

Kingfishers perched on the bared roots of 
a tree skewer some fish for afternoon tea
an otter prepares a fresh banquet of cray 
wind rustles the birch to faint calls of a jay

Wrens nesting in the hedgerows nibble on seed
Willow sheds her woe down by the water reeds
Damselflies rest upon a cast of white flowers
as rolling clouds breakout in freshest shower

Wonderful! Nice imagery. I really like the way you've used enjambment on a couple of lines. This one in particular. Kingfishers perched on the bared roots of a tree skewer some fish for afternoon tea. Wazza

You could moonlight as a travel writer or an advocate for walking to survive and thrive. Flow at speed that one can read with confidence in coming away refreshed. Enjoy the Christmas break. Best regards David in NZ
