~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.

Love the poem and love the picture. This one so upbeat and full of life. Simply a breath a fresh of air. I love the line, "moons smiling with a twinkle of the eye." made me envision a night under a starry sky, but not the city starry sky that clouded by ambient light, the kind of starry sky you can only find in the country where its as if the sky is truly exploding with life/light. Very well done.

You always read me so well, yes, it'd have to be the country side Kristin, thanks so much.

Very beautiful and calming I find your poem this afternoon. You have penned the essence of nature's fragrant bouquet and packaged it in the solitude that lives within your heart. This was so needed this day, a slower pace, a quiet peace and an exquisite poem from you dear Frieda. Bravo my friend. Thank you for showering us with your mind. Mother Nature should be jealous.
