Nature's Poetry

Raindrops falling on windowpane
     cloudy grey sky with lightning vein
Upon close look, a lilac hue
     and tiny pockets found of blue
Rainy days tempt poets to write
     of roses in bloom, stars at night;   
of golden leaves as Autumn fades,
or shadows found in dappled shades

Dawn that breaks with pure golden skies,
     adds crimson touch as a surprise.
deepened sunset paints scarlet hues,
     touch of iris in purple-blues.
Nature's watercolor pages
     filled with poems for the ages--
words that poets find to capture     
     nature's most glorious rapture.
