Nature's concert

Gather around folks
Here is nature's score

You won't be disappointed

You may even want some more.

The tree's little wind-chimes

Shimmer in the breeze

Leaves just whispering

Nature's had a sneeze.

The elements band together

the concert Black and White

The concert performed many a time

Even through the night.

Shower"s Pitter Patter

Nature's little drums

Hail's stomping stomping

AAhh! Nature's Irish dance

Its all very quick!.... Its past!

The clouds remain all seated

High in the sky

The symphonic orchestra begins

When Thunder arrives.

The tree's wind-chimes whisper

As the wind cries

Dark brooding clouds applause

Symphonic Thunders arrived.

Lightning flashing flashing

Glorious streaks of white

Nature's only conductor

Giving us a spectacle.

Oh! what a treat!

Crashing crashing Thunder roars

Shaking Nature's foundations

Just Heaven's Gate

Opening her doors.

All the elements excited

Everyone wants more.

Between each song and dance

The Wind howls today

Introducing the next act

Remain seated. Don't go away!

They play through the night

It's all Black and White

The same show they put on

With some surprises...

Hope you get a fright!

The Moon peeks brightly

Nature's night clock

Only between the acts

When the clouds stop.

Snow flakes falling gently

The final curtain falls

Nature's little thank you's

The audience now applauds.

Judged by far away

Light rays from the sun

Nature's biggest audience

The musicians on the run.

And so Nature's concert

Called Black and White

Will be rehearsed again

On another night.

                        ......Tickets please!

Meanwhile next door

I hear....

Turn that bloody music down!

[Coyote Poetry]

I enjoyed the poem and I do like the sound of nature. Nothing as peaceful as being near the sea and listening to the movement of the sea. To take a long walk into deep forest. Listen to nature and become part of her. I like the complete poem. You led to a good ending. Kids of today lost in the noise of music forget to hear the music of nature. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

This is music with a twist... so well portrayed that I can clearly visualize everything right in the middle of a sunny day.. Great work :)

I'm a favorite of your twists. Your witty mind has created beautiful scenery upon scenery. I can picture everything. You've managed to involve all the senses, trumped at the end by the element of surprise. I liked the use of metaphors and jargon too. :)
