Inspired by nature


Just to prove that my posts aren't all gloomy: A couple of poems inspired by nature. :)

Welcome, Distraction

Dragonflies in the afternoon light,
Gliding over fresh cut lawns;
Willing feet sink into sharp blades,
As I follow one and give up;
When wings shimmering, it darts away;
Escaping my playful fingers.
But another passes enticingly close,
Gleeful, I begin another dash;
Chasing dragonflies in the sun.


The Last Few

The sun is hidden
Behind light grey clouds
And the air is wet
After the rain
The last few drops fall
All the way down
Splashing into the puddle
A circle waves out
The next drop falls nearby
A smaller circle forms
And they clash
The old and the new
And it all looks so beautiful

Beautiful :)
Loved reading it.... I wonder what kick one would get writing something like that!
You got the skill to paint a picture with words.
Btw... your poem on dragonflies got me reminded of a song I am going to dedicate to you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_ACXuhQiS4&feature=related
Enjoy :)
