Heidi Sands Poet Pantoum

Nature's Masterpiece Collaboration With Poet Joseph May

Nature’s masterpiece is divinely spun
She paints the sunset at a glance
Her brushstrokes at dawn are second to none
Across the landscape the colors dance

She paints the sunset at a glance
With a serenity that transforms my soul
Across the landscape the colors dance
As pastel skies sweep across the knoll

With serenity that transforms my soul
I wait for the stars as her palette gleams
As pastel skies sweep across the knoll
I’ve been given a second chance to dream

I wait for the stars as her pallet gleams
Her brushstrokes at dawn are second to none
I’ve been given a second chance to dream
Nature’s masterpiece is divinely spun

Heidi Sands and Joseph May

*A special acknowledgement to Joseph May for his wonderful writing in this collaboration and incredible patience as this one was difficult for me.  Thank you.

Chris Green July 18, 2017 at 10:08 AM This was gorgeous and one of the best Pantoum poems I have read. Bravo to you Heidi and Joseph. This is incredible. Heidi Sands July 18, 2017 at 10:28 AM Thank you Chris. I am new to pantoum's and have only done a few and for some reason this was the hardest poem I have ever done. I struggled with the form. I am so happy you like it! :)
