The songs of nature

To hear the songs of Nature

so pleasing to the soul.

Listening intently

I long to hear them all.

Even as a child at home

I heard them in the night.

Sitting on our front porch

Their singing in starlight.

In the day I'd stop my play

and listen to bird songs

often as a solo

or singing of the throngs.

I suppose I'll never know

what birds and crickets say.

Bullfrogs by the pond

or horses when they neigh.

With their songs I'll stay content

I have for all these years.

Thankful  for the music

the songs that nature shares.

I like the "feel" this one left behind my eyes.

I live near a huge wilderness area, so my place is very quiet, except for all these songs you write about, which I love. Your poem has a snappy rhyme & rhythm that gives it a song-like effect, as if the narrator is skipping along down the trail of critters & their noises. My favorite is stanza 4, which is playful personification & I like bringing in a variety of different characters. Excellent poem, a favorite style for me in terms of form and message (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
