On Dewy Grass

After returning from the morning walk with my dog Bobby I felt inspired to write this poem. It's been a long time since I wrote any poetry, I normally have to feel in a certain place to find inspiration. Being out with nature this morning provided that muse. Please let me know what you think! x

On dewy grass this morning passed

Two friends without a care.

Together moored by silver cord

Happy union betwixt this pair.

Under foot they crush the meadow lush

As nightly beasts did so afore

Nature’s hues – greens, browns and blues –

In light invites mortals’ awe.

The poppy heads so proud and red

Stand like giants ten feet tall

Passed between the trees upon the breeze

They hark at blackbirds’ morning call.

Down by the river the bushes a-quiver

Out shot a tawny hare –

The river flushed in mimicked rush

And washed the moss rocks bare.

O’ Sweet Gaia earth, this early mirth

Shows although man tries in vain

To steal her wealth with open stealth

Her beauty shines through the pain
