What Few See

What few see 99% of people do not care about poetry and why should they? The sheep who feed among the olive trees, the furtive fox, is crossing a field. the forest full of life and rabbits jumping over A sinking stone walk. The climbing rose flower surrounding a house. Where an old lady leaves and her grandson bringing Her food and the latest news. The cat sleeping on the old roof And the eagle high up seeing what is worth hunting. The beauty of nature we are too busy seeing. Yet, poets write about it. It is a hopeless task, but they are doomed to report Nature´s greatness.

Absolutely! Nature is magnificent, Jan. You always have a few catchy lines. I love the line. "The sheep who feed among the olive trees" After reading that line my brain immediately went to Italy and/or Greece. just wonderful images. Have a great day.
