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 10~19~14 Contest :I do not know Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich ~awarded 3rd place~

Jan, This sweet poem reminds me of the song "Everything Is Beautiful." And so it is with your poetry.

"Wonderful world" wonderful poem what great words "tunefully twittering" are, you again have painted a picture and it most definately is a "beautiful, simply wonderful world". Love Shane xxx

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

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
