Seeking Nature's Serenity
Seeking Nature's Serenity
(An Irish Sonnet)
Over the lush meadows graceful birds fly
Songs echoing on back from forested trees
Bright colors flashing from the bluest sky
Like flying fish skimming the dancing seas
Flowers gift fragrance to the busy bees
Each petal shining out enticing glow
Magnificent beauty taken with ease
Smiling skies looking far down below
Just look, Nature tells all we need to know
Inside our hearts rest this dearest sweet hope
Beauty graces everything- Nature's show
Such rare sights as a racing antelope
Seek Nature's serenity just to cope
Living under this solar telescope

Idea came from Peter Duggan's - Irish sonnet titled- "Sweet Nature" -....
an Irish Sonnet.
Obviously influenced by the English sonnet there is also still a Celtic
influence in making a link from stanza to stanza.. It still follows the three quaterns
and a couplet pattern, but each stanza is linked to the next giving a rhyme pattern of;
a. b. a. b. . b. c. b. c. . c. d. c. d. .d.d.
