NATURALLY

About nature

NATURALLY

 

They call you nature

But I call you beauty

They want you to capture

But I want you to be my poetry

 

They say you are wealthy

But I say it is not amassed

They say you are healthy

But I say it is gifted

 

They say you should be tamed

But I say instincts can not be tamed

They say you should be utilized

But I say you are not to be used

 

You are to be enjoyed..

You are to be adored

You are to be appreciated

You are to be lived with

In you we are to be dissolved..

Nature, My muse, My God,.

Forgive their ignorance.

Nature is indeed a thing of beauty, at times, but it is often quite the opposite because its indifference. We focus on the nice, the feel-good, the pretty, but don't pay as much heed to the destructive. I have actually seen comments on a tornado..."it is evil." No, it just is. Anyway, your poem has much potential, yet it struggles in both flow and reasoning. Yes, we are to live with nature, but "In you we are to be dissolved.." (???) Come now. The poem also splinters at the very end leaving me at least quite disappointed. You are better than this work.

Not too bad. It took me a while to figure out where you were going with this one. I had to stop midway through to read the note "about nature". I understand the purpose of the piece, but think a few things could have maybe been worded differently.

The Earth is our playground, but many of us do not play nice...
Nothing lasts forever...but why hasten its end...
Nice sentiments...

We must take from the earth to survive, but greed has led some of us to abuse the earth and take more than is needed. We are a part of nature. It is good to appreciate and love nature.

[Adelia Alighieri]

Nature indeed is inspiring. It depends on how we get inspired.
Well written, thanks for sharing.

The planet is our home. We destroy her without thought. I feel very sad when the people of South America who have lived in peace with nature lose their home to the greedy men in the rain forest. We need the world to protect what is left before it is too late. Air, water and earth is the real gold if man used his brain. A powerful poem. You made me think.

This is one of my favorites from you. The repetition took something away from the piece for me, but otherwise I loved this. I, in fact, wrote something a little similar (theme wise) recently, but haven't had the guts to post it. It's not my favorite, and I couldn't do the topic justice.
This was nicely done though. :)
