Go and explore, Nature's delight!!
Nature is so wonderful and magical to see,
Woodlands so green, oceans so blue,
Singing birds, the busy buzzing bee,
Butterflies that fly so free,
So elegant with colours so bright,
A wonderful sight to see.
Take in the breath of fresh air,
Look at the beautiful surroundings,
Each and every second that you are there,
Each day is precious,
So open the door and go outside,
See what joyful moments you can make,
Appreciating nature far and wide.
See the beautiful flowers that are on display,
Let's all enjoy a refreshing stroll,
Making the most of each day,
So good for the heart and good for the soul!!
my fingers are vital for almost everything I do
including combing my hair, and picking up my dog’s poo
I use them to sweep, vacuum, and sort the mail
to live without them would be worse than a day in jail
Fingers bake cookies, for they hold the spoon
They also steady telescopes, so I can see the moon
Fingers are handy for wiping extra paint on my shirt
They put on make-up expertly, ask my pal Mert.
My fingers like to type up poems, stories and such.
I like these tiny appendages very very very much.
Tonight when I go to bed I am going to thank God for them
Unless I forget, because when I am tired I can get rather dim.
trilling bird
dainty voice
subtle
not like a cicada
or a crow
I cannot stand to be inside today
the air opens up my lungs
refreshing breeze makes me want to sing
I give thanks to God
for making me so sick, I was forced to retire
I have missed so many gorgeous May days
wasted years of my time
walking on cement floors
breathing stale inside work air
spending my evenings in front of a brainless TV
A red bellied robin balanced upon the red swinging set pole.
The sky slowly shifting colours as the sun was setting.
Appreciating artistry of Mother Nature and her role.
she threw her power into the wind
the wind laughed, but tossed it back
now it was more potent than ever
thank you, she whispered to the wind
he nodded, appreciating her appreciation

When you have thoughts that bring might you down,
Remember, please do, The Almighty, made no clowns!
Appreciate whatever, any and all things you can do!
Do not compare yourself to another, it’s a day you will rue.
Know that you are special as the bright star in the autumnal sky.
See the divine in others,and in you, and not once ask why?
Neither compare yourself th a single other.
We all are part of the sams family, human sisters and brothers!
as a man passing her wise thoughts, she recognises her values.

Butterfly girl greets the quiet wren in a field of corn
Where yellow and light green vegetation is often born
Far off they hear an accordion and a Romanian horn.
Melodies are terrific says a dwarf who arrived this morn.
Soft-spoken wren opens up his beak to sing a song.
It is exactly short enough, not too brief or too long.
Your voice is delicious says the girl named Lee Armstrong.
With that kind of warbling, how can you go wrong?
Old moon was leaving; he said his goodbyes to creatures of the night.
Butterflies and moths felt sad, knowing they would now never see his light.
Luna moths decided to surprise him, and they turned brilliantly white.
To show their appreciation, letting retiring old moon see their bright.
Little Cindy Lou Who
Won’t let the Grinch be blue
optimist for sure
her heart is utterly pure
She expects the best
At Whoville Christmas Fest
Grinch comes around
Happiness is found
The bluest sky Minneapolis had ever seen
Was whisked away and hidden, truly obscene.
Who did it? We asked, where did they go?
A warlock came by with a large swollen toe.
He would not speak, but he ushered us in.
He had warts on his face, and dimpled bad skin.
Across from his throne sat an egg full of sky.
I have captured the clouds, he said. So we asked why.
They were not appreciated, you never looked up.
You ate your mashed potatoes and beef, your tea you did sup.
You never appreciated them, so now they are all for me.
We had no idea what to say as we drank down his lemon tea.
Rubenesque Hilda loved her ample rotund girth
As did her enamored husband, Charlie McMirth
She was corpulently rounded, and forever fine.
Charlie often said “I am grateful that Hilda is mine.”
We knew she was special instantly
LeeAnn was darling with a pixie like face.
She chose her words with careful precision
Confidence evident for all to see.
We liked her immensely, she had such grace.
She is wonderful; she has such vision!
Absolutism she could always bend
With the elegance of hand-tatted lace
Naught about her required revision
She was a wholesome quintessential friend
LeeAnn was our ultimate decision
Nature’s never made
A thing of a second grade,
So a birdie said.
The least, there’s one side,
Its beauty wherein abides,
Howso it’s decried.
Rose lovely is born.
Of seers that see world is shorn
That abuses thorn.
Flowers have their spell,
So does leaves’ beauty as well,
Not everything’s smell.
Cut out, man, thine grin,
Flowers they’re in shades of green
That adds to the scene.
Cute looks moonlit night,
But moonless’ no less delight
That lets stars shine bright.
No dearth of beauty,
What lacks is beholding eye—
Eye that loves it nigh!
