Wild Nature

WILD NATURE Far from squabble of snobbish sniffy people I wish to visit a wild country where loud amusement has no entry to disturb simple innocent naive populace. Bathed in soft Sun rays at delightful dawn gazing at close by pinewood I would like to lie supine not on smooth lawn but on feral grasses on non-mowed meadow, where light and shadow play hide and seek game. I will enjoy crazy cattle grazing chewing coarse grasses and foliage, or camels thriving on thorny bushes making barren field fertile. I will walk on furrows of field of crops Kaleidoscope of butterflies on flash and flutter of colorful wings ***** unfamiliar bird whistles to startle or croons in cadence. My pleasure to pass through pathless wood My rapture to feel fragrance of wild blossoms I would like to venture verdure of verdant valley. and watch wild insects allured to juices of agrestal plants. I will feel offer of Nature as bliss in every limb in the wild country. I wish to escape compulsive constriction of city life I will sleep sound in quietude on serenity of sublime solitude. 04/10/ 20 Fourth Place 'Wild' Poetry Contest by Anthony Slausin First Place -A Brian Strand 1092 Contest by Brian Strand
