William Wordsworth

Instilled flesh and blood of romance in poesy, That, till then, looked a skeleton-like cogency...! Gave life to Mother Nature who, once, was ignored, From you on, in a new form, nature got adored...! Physical and psychic growth of humanity, You said, like nectar in blooms, secrete sanity...! Should observe and understand nature's mysteries, To give shape to true universal histories...! With sole romantic soul, one should communicate, Should, communion with the self and supreme create...! Nature ever enlightens the humble in heart, Inspires to bring out the best of creative art...! The universal brotherhood of beings, forms, When harmony with nature turns true cosmic norms...! The truth comes alive in the heart through true feelings, Peace and freedom must permeate human dealings...! Wrote your life in poetic form as the prelude, Your paths, midst happiness, often seemed rough and rude...! Truths you said and did and lived full till reached eighty. Got wrapped with nature with your entire entity...!!! 12 January 2023 Beloved Poets Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Regina McIntosh
