Nature's Melody

by Katie   Jan 5, 2008


The curtains in the sky unfold
Bringing in the light, the show begins
Plucking on its short green strings, the musician stirs
A sound so indescribable at a loud whisper
Fills the air and sends its vibe
Sticks join in, leaves dance
Intensity increases, the sound picks up

The curtains gently withdraw, the real show begins
All are a part as the beads fall
A howl, a moan
The beads fall faster
Making all produce sound, both soft and loud
Drum roll please............ Boom!
In a crescendo to then decrease
Only to soon seize, for great silence

All try to compete with their noise
But none are a match, for nature's melody

    I agree with Letty... I think nature and it's wonders could fill more poets hearts with better words than most love poems. I have to say that I really like your poem. I think that the nature section of this site has to be where one can find really wonderfully written poems. They arent old and dull like so may other love poems. Im sure mine fall into that category once in awhile. I found your work very interesting. Keep up the good words and may all your writings bring you peace.

    Reading what you have written here reminds me of myself. I love nature poems, and I always try to be creative as possible when writing them. You have a wonderful talent with writing them. I know it's hard trying to capture the readers with poems of nature, but what you've done hear is actually quite magnificent. It has a few bumps and glitches, but those can be easily fixed by reading the poem out loud to yourself; then you can hear the flow yourself. I always say put yourself in the readers place. If you can read it out loud and find no errors, then you're good to go. Keep up the great work! I am truly looking forward to reading more of your work.

    Wow, really good! Never read a nature poem this well! Personally, I can only write haikus. No poems like this.
