Nature's Symphony
I listen to the Orchestra of Mother Earth I'm amazed by her sights and sounds. I know the beauty of infinite worth from above and beneath her grounds. The sky solos its uncanny silence, wind pitched rain weeps her sorrow. Oak and maple, a heavenly fence birth nuts as the dogwood grow. The breeze of an ocean, her unique smell; fluted sand, holds many treasures all its own. Millions of years manufacture shells combining salt, wind and sand for tone. Pastures of green and gold carpet the land providing food for creatures large and small. Babbling brooks and waterfalls so grand create a majestic, harmonious call. Mountains of clay glitter in the sun's presence, Her mirage composing pristine shapes. The sharpness of copper and gold, their penance; canyons rise and fall in melodious capes. Thunder and lightning stages Nature's symphony; swayed rhythm, bends branches high and low. Wrapped in my chamber like a cocoon I see a rain-bowed ovation, of Her Majesty's show. © 2004 Lorraine M Kanter All rights reserved by Lorraine M Kanter as an unpublished work. ·······  ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.

Hey Lori,
Very ironic, as you commented today on the first poem I shared with you back in 2001, and this is the first poem of yours that you shared with me soon after!  I still love this and the melodic sounds that ring from your expression! Your sensitivity reminds me of our common bond as poets and friends!  I am so happy to "bump" this piece for others to read! Keep on "playing nature's music!" Lindi ······· ·······"Imagination is more important than knowledge and encircles the world"

Keep on "playing nature's music!" Lindi Hi Lindi.  Great minds - isn't it sweet to look back on the muse over time?    Thank you very much for bumping this poem! I have a mind to 'edit' it, BUT it was the very first poem I wrote when joining the internet scene in October, 2002 so I best leave it as is.   YOu know I'll always have a special place in my heart for nature - there's so much to learn from her. Kepp on  our poetic music Lindi. Thanks and cheers! ~Cleo

Dear Cleo,
I'm given to hyperbole, especially on yhe positive side. Thunder and lightning as Nature's symphony is a prime example. Great mood making! Cheers, Ron jgd ······· ······· |

Cheers, Ron jgd Hi Ron. Yes, an exaggeration but to make the metaphor really stand out - I love the thunder and ligtening (but tend to 'hide' when it gets too close for comfort).  Thanks for stopping by! ~Cleo
