Summer's breezes blow from the south,
culminating growth of greenery devout.
Floral boutiques spread out in their beds,
delight for the eyes in profusion pledged.
Rains of warmth infuse down to the roots,
refreshing drink in nutrients of natural juice.
Delivered from soils rich from summers past,
nature provides its children nourishment baths.
Streams that swell in static storms of Summer,
hasten to rivers and springs of underground cover.
Forging steadily onward to the deep blue seas,
in babbled conversations of watery scenes.
Seasonal constancy in glorious energies,
New life in earthly seasonal slow speeds.
Mother Nature has a method to her reasons,
evident to us all in changes of season.
Tampering with this lady is lethally unwise,
all earthly life depends on her grace supplied.
Quite angry at times or so she truly seem,
proof she won't be controlled by you and me.

this definitely sounds to ancient languages in the shaping and the mouthing of the inner loose rhymes. it fills the senses with the message. Really, an exceptional poem.

Another great write for another contest. Contests challenge us to write so much more than we would without them. Well done.

Oh, bravo! This is just fabulous! Every line is strong and full of vivid imagery. It gives an overall sense of comfort, even the warning speaks of strength, not malice. Awesome piece my friend! Blessings, Gypsy

Good job on the structure and the explaination is also well done! So if someone wanted to do one, they NOW know how. Keep the pen to the paper.

Thanks Jim for the edit expertize Sir.And read/comment.

It would be "lethally unwise", and you need to remove the apostrophe from this "it's" and move it up to "Summer's" at the beginning:
nature provides it's children nourishment baths
Otherwise, this is a good job.

A TRULY BEAUTIFUL POEM MY FRIEND
Very beautiful descriptions of nature and the bright and beautiful world around us.

So true mother nature cannot be controlled such as it is with most of us women. She fights back and will have her way to preserve the nature that is her destiny whether it harms the caretakers of the earth or not. I enjoyed your poem as well as the explanation of how it is written within your author's comments.

You've written well of the wonders of nature. Your description and expression are vivid and colorful. I like that you held your theme well throughout the whole write. Continuity is excellent and you closed the poem very well. Best of luck in this contest.
