Whispers of the wind
spin tantalizing webs
of swooping motions
through the trees
and the soft scent
of greenery permeates
my nose as I breath in
the scenery just as I see it.
The Canopy is as alive
as I am thoroughly aware
that the everyday sights
which are unfolding before me...
Are not so everyday.
The pecking of a bird
making it’s home
and the chirping of crickets,
swirling through the air
and kicking up
the dust of my imagination
and sparking creativity.
You've described the forest so well, vividly but simply so the words paint a clear, uncluttered picture.
Your metre's fine and some of the phrases are very realistic - especially that last stanza, (couldn't pick out particular lines in it, have to put all)
' The pecking of a bird / making it's home / and the chirping of crickets, / swirling through the air / and kicking up / the dust of my imagination / and sparking creativity.' - I think 'kicking up the dust of my imagination really is a special collection of words.

I have to agree with Melanie, is there nothing you can't write Dillon?? I mean, you go from a horrific warzone to the beast within, to some pretty steamy stories -- and now to the soft whispers of nature ... unbelievable. You are the Cybil of poetry... LOL.
i love it, i'm always in tune with nature and i love reading someone elses perspective on it, you do it well, is there nothing you can't do?..lol great job :) hugs
