Wild Extravagance
Austere magic and verdant odor
in sombre shades of thick forest,
nature breathing a breeze of life
among lofty trees and tall grasses.
wilful beneath a boundless blue sky,
sunlight dapples an emerald canvas.
Lilac bushes soothe alder woods
wildflowers cluster charteus groves.
quaking aspen and towering oaks
fallen leaves sussurate soft rambles
a quiescent stream basks in splendor
squirrels crackling birdsong ballads.
Orange butterflies on musk of wild rose
drunken bees reeling on wispy tendrils.
swooshing, hissing roaring , howling
hunting and preying , stalking goes on.
A virgin green forest, in wild extravagance
don't molest its freedom , my civilized world.
