~Nature's Zest

 Always full to the brim with beauty              

        the glass is more than half full

              filled with nature's bounties 

   resplendent seascapes beyond compare

                  take a sip and you will hear

  sounds of sapphire oceans lapping up horizon's vistas

      sights of sun risings in explosions of awe

             moons smiling with a twinkle of the eye

                at lovers dancing on sumptuous  skies 

        flutterby's flitting their elegant wings

         the breath of ambrosia blossom kisses

               posies that whet the view

                                   & nuzzle the heart 

    

          earthy poetry of scenic esprit

                 to embrace the zest, 

      drink to your hearts desire

          as far as the eye can glean

                    wondrous virtuality abounds

    tempting blueprints of life's pure quintessence

Very well penned. I enjoyed this one immensely. As we lose ourselves in nature, it has a way of calming, comforting and bringing us to that peaceful place of existence...if we are still. Loved the imagery, especially your opening lines, so positive and uplifting. And your last lines just leaves me wanting to escape to enjoy the wondrous gift of nature.

to embrace the zest,

this poem is soft and ethereal and gentle - it reminds me of lazy southern summers, cicadas buzzing and magnolia infused breezes. I just closed my eyes and let this poem kinda wash over me.

I don't know what they feel like, never been but that's what I had in mind, always sounds so soothing....

I've said it before, but your ability to jump between emotions and states of mind from poem to poem is something I've always looked up to...it is impossible to single out certain lines that gripped me here...you had me at line one ;P

[Frieda P]

Haha I guess that's why you called my Sybil! ;-P x

[kublakhan27]

Haha well it's fun to, umm, play different roles from time to time ;P x
