The soft flutter of a butterfly,
The light drifting of leaves,
A soft, blowing breeze,
Feels like nature's touch.
The swell of the trees,
The ripples in the calm lake,
The light chirp of the dawn chorus,
Feels like nature's warm embrace.
I smell the hunt of the beasts,
I feel the flight of the birds,
I hear the talk of nature,
It feels like nature's kiss.

I simple, direct, and thought-provoking poem. I enjoyed reading this work, and good luck in the contest!
-
this is very sweet.
I love the way you described nature.
it could do with a few more metaphors and stuff,
but the imagery was beautiful
-
Truly lovely. Relaxes and subdues and makes me crawl into the comfort of a blissful fall day, with that bit of chill but that comfortable warmth on my face. Absolutely marvelous imagery.
-
What a beautiful write, a great entry for this contest. A perfectly penned write with great flow and good imagery. Thank you for the entry. Keep the pen flowing...the pleasure was all mine.

Awww, this is lovely
Nature's Kiss I love the title, and the piece written followed the title perfectly!
I love how in each stanza you described bits of your perhaps favorite parts of nature and at the end of each stanza these lines follow:
"Feels like nature's touch."
"Feels like nature's warm embrace."
and finally ending with
"It feels like nature's kiss."
It's nice to have people out there who really appreciate nature! You've woven a beautiful piece here! Congrats on the trophys and good luck in the other entered contests!

This was really nice, a sweet nature poem, and some very pleasing images to wake up to on a Monday morning that's kind of cloudy and gray outside. I like the images in the poem, and the overall flow, really nice. Thanks for entering and sharing thiw with me!

I smell the hunt of the beasts,
I feel the flight of the birds,
I hear the talk of nature,
It feels like nature's kiss.

Hey Emma...you seem to be a great poet...i simply loved it...i could actually get the feeling...in a busy country like India you hardly get a chance to visit such places...I simply loved this poem...keep up the great work!!!
Mekhala -
It makes me want to go out into nature, I like it!!!
*wishes she was in the forest now* lol -
COOOL NICE
-
almost erotic in description actually a little slow.. but other than that a really great write
-
A tad boring. A description of some things found in nature. Very nice descriptions, but no real depth of feeling here. I read it once and had to read it again immediately after because I couldn't remember it. I think if you are going to do a short nature piece like this you should be able to throw in some more poetic devices like actual rhyme, alliteration, and the like. In the first stanza breeze and leaves almost rhymes and I got excited and then it just disappeared. I hope that you will look back and do some more work on this. This could be a lovely work full of a soft peaceful mood, just keep workin on it! Thank you for sharing this and keep on writing!

Nature's Kiss
I love it lol it has made my day brighter .. even though it's raining.. lmao -
Good job!!! I really enjoyed this poem, you incorrporated all the senses into this poem. It was really nice to see, hear, and feel the interactions of nature. This is really well written, and i am excited to judge it. Thank you!
-
this is great, i love it. just reading it makes me smile
-
not bad, not bad. a soft and kind of sexy feel to it, like silk pajamas - comfy & just the slightest bit suggestive...
-
Great job... Nice light and airy.... though not amazing, this is still a nice poem.
Good job
-
this is really good if i were you i wouldn't worry about your work, you definitely have talent! my favorite stanza was probably
"the swell of the trees,
The ripples in the calm lake,
The light chirp of the dawn chorus,
Feels like nature's warm embrace."
these words definitely pain a very clear picture and im pretty sure thats the major goal of most poets, for me it is anyway but, i really enjoyed it! good job! -
man this makes me feel like im on a island or something yet i wish you would have kinda got more in depth with some emotions ya know jus to make it more interesting..but overall good job! -Gore
-
Makes me long for summer....nicely done
-
Wow. This is really good and portrays outside and nature as a very realistic thing. I really like this poem. I would appreciate it if you would comment on some of my poems too.
-
Good poem
It's very different and I like it. But for gods sake emma Fix the word -The- because te doesn't sound that good. Mrs. franklin nie would have a fit if someone spelt the wrong! But I really like the poem and the way you use the five senses.

-
OKAY. Thanks for the spell check! Talk to you later...k?
LUV,
EMMA ^_^ ^_^ *_* ^_^ ^_^
