The Forest Green

by Poet on the Piano   May 1, 2008


Dewy mist settling on the soft grass of the forest,
The first mist in the beautiful dawn of the morning,
What true mystery and beauty lies in these woods,
Wanting to never be unfolded or told of its secrets.

The tall trees sprouting up to the heavens,
Being dominant over all living things,
Their branches spreading and stretching out,
As if to grab something in the air.

Lush greenery extending throughout the jungle,
Showing all the faces of earth its green color,
Covering and overpowering the soft soil,
Growing fast and fiercely every minute.

The squirrels depend upon the trunks of trees,
While the birds nest their young in the branches,
Trees give so much to all of creation,
They are the heart of nature's foundation.

The morning sun sneaking through the canopy,
Its brilliant light shining through the leaves,
A stunning aurora in the dawn of the forest,
Such an unreal fantasy to live and breathe upon.

    Not many write poems about nature, and I think you made an excellent imagary one. The stanzas were without rhymes, but the imagary descriptions in each and every one of them were amazing. I liked the subject and metaphores, just a shame you don't use rhymes. Rhymes would make your flow a lit better. 4/5

    Dewy mist settling on the soft grass of the forest,

    Maybe you can change that to

    As the dewy mist settles on the soft grass of the forest,'

    It sounds like a run-on sentence if it doesn't.

    I think maybe you should chill on the long syllables.
    They ruin a flow of the poem.

    Other than that, I guess it's okay.
    I'm not a big nature fan, so it wouldn't fair for me to down-vote.

    I'll just give ye a five :]
