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 Robert J. Lindley, 11-18-2015 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.
