Nature's Show

Oh, pretty little butterfly, flitting all around. You can flash dance colorfully even with no sound. Hummingbird, I see you too. You flap your wings so fast. You super duper flapper, you are having such a blast! Bumble bee, big bumble bee, your buzzing song is rare. Few insects sing the way you do while dancing in the air. Oh, katydids and crickets, I hear your soothing call. It is the song of summer time when night begins to fall. Oh, nights of summer I don’t want for you to pass me by without the flicker lights I see from the firefly. Oh, firefly so talented, no creature is like you. Your flash dance is amazing as darkness you pass through. Refrain: Watch and listen, everyone, whether beneath the moon or sun. Nature has more skills than you may know. Sit back a while and just enjoy the show! Oh, deer that prance and lambs and colts gamboling in play. I also love to hear the tunes, like the donkey’s bray, the lowing of the cattle and the baaing of the sheep, and even baby chicks when they go peep peep peep. Mammals of the wild, how you howl and how you roar - You’re a jungle orchestra that tourists can’t ignore. Oh, birds that strut, your mating moves are so interesting along with all the pretty songs so many of you sing. Water’s music rushes as over rocks it goes. Ocean laps a lullaby; with rhythm each tide flows. Breezes make leaves dance; I sometimes hear wind croon. Oh, birds, swirl on, and dolphins, glide and whistle your fun tune! Refrain: Watch and listen, everyone, whether beneath the moon or sun. Nature has more skills than you may know. Sit back a while and just enjoy the show!

Andrea, a lot of fun to read this is. I can relate to each sound and see it as well. We should enjoy all the things that surround us and look for things to bring joy. You may get the reputation of the pastoral poet if you keep this up!!
