Natures Best

Clouds come by and cover sun

Rain falls and rabbits run

Birds find shelter in the trees

Hives will shelter Bumble Bees

 

Insects also look for shelter

Slide down leaves, Helter Skelter

Badgers, Foxes weasels too

Run for cover, I’m soaked through.

 

Puddles make good drinking holes

For all of these, oh, and tiny voles

Nature’s beauty at it’s best

But I’m still soaked through to my vest

 

Now the clouds have drifted by

The suns come out to make things dry

Wildlife comes back out to play

Birds are singing, what a day.

 

I stand and watch as rainbow glows

Across the fields, behind hedgerows

Now then, where’s that pot of gold

I’m going home I’m wet and cold.

Fantastic poem Roy,  full of the natural world around us. I thought you rhymed it well too.  Thank you for sharing.  Jenny.

Thank you so much Jenny. It's amazing what walking round the meadows with the dog puts into ones mind.

Appreciate your kind comments.  Roy

This is lovely Roy.  As Moya says, you are definitely getting the poetry lark.  Pop over to mine if you've time - I've put up first bit of Brendas story - let me know what you think.  It was a hard write, specially with Cliff on tour again soon!

Hi Linda,  Thank you so much.  Sorry for late reply.  I'm not gettin notifications of readers for some reason.  NOt sure if i said, but Brenda's story is excellent. I appreciate it must have been difficult, but I am so glad you've done it.  Thanks for including us lads too. I shall keep this for Ava's "Life of Grandad" which I am slowly putting together.   Roy
