So many enjoyable beautiful things about nature.

Beautiful flowers ~ trees in bloom Monarchs mating on mimosas Bedded below the willow ~ fawn Close your eyes ~ shush ~ did you see that Lingered aromas ~ beauty scents Vegetation growth ~ fruited vines Mother greenery ~ father earth Close your eyes ~ shush ~ did you smell that Sunshine above ~ sunburn alert Warm mild breezes ~ slight hair movement Heart smiling ~ enjoying god's gifts Close your eyes ~ shush ~ did you feel that Raging rivers ~ water falling Soft winds whistle ~ tree branches crack Birds singing ~ wood pecker pecking Close your eyes ~ shush ~ did you hear that ( 8 syllable pattern) Shush-Did You Hear That Poetry Contest Sponsored by Anthony Slausen 9/13/2018

Wow, this was beautifully crafted and so descriptive that the reader (me) felt like they were standing out there listening to nature with you. Nicely done. Much luck in the contest

When I closed my eyes and hushed, I did not see or hear any of this, but I quieted myself, so I could open my eyes and read your beautiful poem, and then I felt and saw it all, Charles. Wonderful imagery!
