In Nature's Time
A Poem by
Susan Beth Horvath
Nature, in its finest hour Does not work to times' devour It is a wonder of the seasons' clime Each season washes in its note On its own tidal float Nature works to its own good time Nature has no forward spin To race the natural span’s engine There’s no sudden bolt from the blue It’s all a drifting sense of merge No strike of outing purge Haze becomes a clear-sight view Settle in a comforts’ realm Nature, with paintbrush at the helm Realises a colouring to full extent Enthuses cobalt’s, exotic greens Red and all diverse scenes Whatever is in natural experiment Sit and watch a pleasant day See the night-scope in twinkled array Change of dress in natural wear The softened clouds rolling by Relax the vision of your eye And live your life in nature’s care

I really liked the rhyme scheme in this. Was it an official form or something you cooked up out of the blue?

I truly enjoyed the mood and tone of this, and the subject matter is delicious. The point being made is also clear and lovely. So many fantastic phrases.
I think some flow could be improved some.
Also, there are some interesting/confusing choices that gave me pause:
" a comforts' " did me in, since "a" indicates singular, but comforts' is plural possessive. I couldn't figure the true meaning here, alas.
" times' " brought me to a similar confusion. Possibly you meant time's?
" cobalt's " should this simply be "cobalts" with no possessive?
I will not continue to obsess, but I would urge you to check your apostrophes, plurals and possessives. :)
