Darren Watson Poet Verse

Natures Law

Sunlight dances across the old pond
Reflections of bushes and tree's
Wild grasses grow in the field beyond
The buzz of the bumble bee.

Nature reclaiming what is hers by right
Healing scarred and derelict land 
Badgers foraging long into the night
To feed the family they've planned.

The music that the crickets make
The owl taking to the wing
The mole surfaces to take a break 
Nature is such a wonderful thing .

Every crevice teams with life
Every bush alive with song
Cock displays to find a wife
How on earth could this be wrong .

Foxes dashing to the den 
Vixen carrying her cub in gentle jaws
Animals hiding from the world of men 
Here they live by natures law.

Suzanne Delaney April 1, 2014 at 1:34 PM Hi Daz.....nature is amazing and I couldn't agree more about urban sprawl instead of using and re-furnishing buildings that are already standing...oh for some wisdom and sanity instead of greed and insane self promotion. Let the wonder and delight of nature prevail.

Andrea Dietrich February 22, 2014 at 3:44 PM ok, now let me read your poem here! Yes, this is a really nice one!!! I love the mention of so many different animals and your final stanza really sums up your point well. They are usually in hiding but will forever live by nature's law! Darren Watson February 23, 2014 at 2:23 PM Aha but they hide from the world of men because we tear down their homes , You'll have to live a long time to see a shrew driving a bulldozer down your street to get revenge.

Kelly Deschler February 21, 2014 at 4:24 PM It is such a shame how man can destroy so much of the natural beauty that surrounds them. This is a lovely write, Darren. I enjoyed it very much! ...Thank you for the kind and heartfelt comments. Darren Watson February 22, 2014 at 5:19 AM More and more I see new housing and businesses being built on fertile land Whilst land that has previously been built on stands idle , The kids of tomorrow will pay the price for the decisions we make today.
