Heavenly Moments in Nature...

I love thinking about spending my time in rich green meadows and in forests so here's something for my Mother Nature...

I was walking on the dew-laid grass

Grass so rich and lush green.

As far as my eyes could see

There were bushes, shrubs and thick undergrowth

And amongst them stood tall and firm-

The silent and mighty Trees

So lofty and huge that even

A beam of sunlight could barely manage to seep in.

It was so refreshing, so pristine

It soothed my soul to the core of my heart

I ran and danced on the picturesque land

Sparrows and Butterflies, Deers and Bears

Were all my lovely peers...

Everything bloomed in perfect harmony

Because the Evil man had not yet

Pounced on this heavenly abode!

I became a different me...

Capering and frolicking in the lap of Nature

I wanted this to be my past, present and future...

I didn't want to leave...

Wished to spend my life here forever...

Before my brother growled at me

For sleeping till late!

And I opened my eyes to see

I was prisoned in the four walls of my room...

My ecstasy vanished and what left behind was all Gloom :(

It comes straight from my heart... :)

I liked it, and it was a change from the typical rhyming poems. I prefer to write in rhyme most of the time, because for me, it just helps it sound better. It does restrict writing, though. If I cannot write a poem in rhyme that expressess my feelings to the fullest, the rhymes go out. You create vivid imagery with your use of words, and I just love how the font is green to go along with the 'Nature' theme. The ending is a good ending, but a sad one, isn't it?
Thank you for sharing this lovely poem.

Being in nature and with the freedom from the walls of a house. A excellent poem. I like the story and the surprise ending.

A grand imagination. N what are u talking about....May I ask u dear, What is Exactly ABSURD in this one !!
This is beautiful. I agree, rhyming the poem seems kind of forced. I too m starting to go for poems without any rhyming schemes. They ar a lot easier to write n also more natural...

yeah .. I find this a very pleasant read.. I think rhyming stuff isnt really necessary.. The thought is coming across well.. more as a story.. as though I'm the one who's out and about !!
