Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Wonderful World

Cool wind whispers on the breeze
Shimmering sunshine warms the autumn leaves
Dragonflies dance over a sparkling lake
Slithering silently is a sleepy snake
Beauty surrounds, just open your eyes
Embrace our world, its simply paradise

Blackbirds sing a sweet song
Tunefully twittering all day long
Farmers plough the patchwork fields
The seasons provide; nature yields
Our bountiful earth God reveals

Nature plays its hand
Rain rejuvenates our land
Oceans blue surround us
Flowing freely without fuss

Spring and summer
Autumn and winter
They always appear
Creating our year

Our beautiful
Simply wonderful

World

Paul Schneiter February 5, 2015 at 10:44 PM Jan, This sweet poem reminds me of the song "Everything Is Beautiful." And so it is with your poetry.

Carolyn Devonshire October 21, 2014 at 2:47 PM I'm not "Whispering" anymore, but will look for your Jadazzle poems here. So very happy Darren is feeling better! Jan Allison October 21, 2014 at 3:30 PM Hes back in the UK now with family and friends to support him. There is no rush to write together the main thing is he is making progress and recuperating - I will have the biggest smile in the world when he is ready to write again and we post our fist poem , but it has to come from him:-) Hugs Jan xxx

Carolyn Devonshire October 21, 2014 at 2:45 PM Dear Jan, your love for nature shines in this beautiful poem. You describe so many of the things people often take for granted, but would miss if they disappeared -- dragonflies, birds, lakes, autumn's colors. It is truly a beautiful world and we must protect it. Aces high for this poem! Best wishes in Andrea's contest (she'll love it as much as I do). Love, carolyn Jan Allison October 21, 2014 at 3:28 PM Oh Thank you so much for the lovely comment:-) Hugs Jan xxx
