Each living thing in Nature's plan
makes its own place as best it can.
An apple tree would flower in vain
if not caressed by sun and rain.
The apple that we eat today
developed, surely, just that way.
Even through the darkest night
the world is bathed in pale starlight.
While on a winter day, so bleak,
with snowflakes melting on your cheek,
remember, Spring will come at last,
erasing thoughts of winter passed.
Thus Nature's pristine beauty calls
from bubbling brooks and waterfalls,
to cirrus clouds that float on high ...
sunsets ... and rainbows in the sky.

Love this one! Wonderful images, and it reads like a dream. Congratulations on the Silver.

Great to see you back at the top of our pile. A really charming and peaceful poem. Of your very best, rhyme and meter perfect and very nearly claimed top spot.
Thanks for the entry and we both hope you are able to keep them coming.
All the best
Jeff and Sue

Peaceful, pastoral, poetry... Very calming and quite picturesque... A pleasurable read!!!

Not your most challenging write, it has to be said, but when you use the simpler rhymes (rather than words I have never heard of!) it works more than those who use them just because they have no other way of expressing what they want. It's very pretty (as is the background) and Frost-esque in it's theme and style, just not quite one of my favourites of yours. Still, you never stray too far away from greatness so

Very nice
What a treat to read this on a Sunday morning. True, rhyming observations of natures cycles. A hopeful write; especially liked the last stanza. But...I do wish you would get rid of that rude, obnoxious idiots statement at the end. It spoils any positive effects your writes have, and it makes you look obnoxious and rude. Just some honest criticism here.

Loved it, brother. This is in line with what I want to read in poetry. Thank you much for the read. Good luck and write on. One.
