pristine forests cover the mountains high
as morning sun promises life
strife of yesterday, gone
songbirds sing to sounds of a fife
a new day begins with a happy sigh
life merrily goes on
dawn once more
has spoken true
of love and life’s true meaning
weaning the night from the mornings’ bright sky
flowers smile with happiness rife
life with a brand new dawn
as trees sway, no sorrow or strife
the world is aglow, the night says good bye
and nature holds no pawn
drawn decor
their lovely hue
with beauty ever streaming
seeming to shine among loves purest light
might nature persevere through day and night

Thanks for your kind comment
the individualtean form is one created by individuality. This was my first attempt at it and it was interesting to do. You can find more info on the form if you check out the forms list on his author page.

I thought that this was a complete joy to read.
It owned a softness all its own.
"Weaning the night from the mornings’ bright sky."
This is among my favorite in the poem. It puts the perfect picture in my mind of a sunrising.
Very lovely.

Oh wow, one of your finer poems I think! I have no idea what a individualteam form is but if this is an example, I am all for it.
A sunny morning has that effect on me...giving the feeling that life begins anew. And I like how you intertwine love and nature

I've been trying to get the font color to change from real light so I can change backgrounds but it doesn't want to work for me so will keep trying
