Our World:

It's a wonderful world full of beauty,
So vast and amazing it would seem too,
And what I hold dear, is the bird and tree,
With so much to experience and do. 

As every country has its own allure,
But how many leave their own little part,
Travel they say is to be like a cure,
Like a painter's inspiration to art.

It's great to be alive in such a place,
This world full of indifference I know,
With so many that make the human race,
Simple is the farmer that reaps and sows.

Difficult is the man who lives by plans,
And you shall find him upon all the lands.

Hurrah!! You did the correct syllable count and rhyme scheme. VERY nice, Rick. Congrats on your first(?) sonnet. I have little time to explore anything else you may have written, but anyway, see you later, alligator

Haha, it's not so easy when you have to count every line I now realize. Thanks Andrea for your support and kind comments /|\
