Notes About The Poem

The Forest

In the forest there was a man
Who read to the trees
His verse was like a gentle breeze
The trees frolicked in stories both

Of love, of darkness and the grim

Each and every day
He would compose his verse
For him it was his only way
Nature listened and this is what

Made the sun shine
	And the rains dance with the rainbows

His prose so well composed
	He waltzed with the butterflies
		They, mesmerized with his words so true

He would smell the lone rose that wandered from the garden far
He would gaze at clouds while he sang aloud
He, whom had no idea the majestic words he bespoke,

	Why Kings and Queens would surely seek
		A master of words, both wise and discreet
			He was the Knight

Of the universe

Good Afternoon Arthur. Wow. Marvelous in every aspect. This can not be taken apart because this is whole and poetic. Well done in its entirety. Just the first two lines alone set the tone. Enjoy the afternoon and night.
