Nature's Melody

The whispering wind, the singing bird,
Oh! Nature's melody is the sweetest joy ever heard.

On her notes of  prevailing beauty, I sit, float and stare,
At the world, which thanks to her, now seems so fair.

She carries me across lands and seas,
Magical worlds with singing trees.

Her fairies sing a song for me,
And yes, in an instant, I'm alive and free.

The pitter-patter of the rain,
Nature's melody, my worries, she does drain.

The hush of the serene breeze,
The wild forest's soft sigh,
Indeed, I am completely at ease
And yes, upon her melody, I fly.

Skies surrounding me are no more grey,
Sadness and worries, her music has willed them all away.

I bid farewell to the misery around,
'fore when her music sounds,
I'm on heavenly grounds.

Oh Music, fair lady! I thank you,
For the sweet escape you provide,
Forever, to you and for you, I shall be true,
And forever, in just you, I will daily confide.

Author notes

Music is my all. I don't think I'll ever be able to live with out it. The way it makes me feel and I just love it all. All genres, etc. Over here, in this piece, I decided to write about 'Nature's Melody'

    Yes, I can see how this one won a trophy.  It is well deserved.  I like the picture.  Goes well with the poem and the background is interesting as well.  I like your rhyming.  It did not seem forced at all.  You wrote a very good poem here.  Good job and thanks for entering my contest.

    hmmm...

    i like the theme of this poem. it's true that the simplest of pleasures in life, that we don't ourselves create. but...do me a favor and read this out loud. some of the rhythms are a little funky. you have too many words where simplicity would be best. try to make the rhythms fall into each other. beat it out on the table, and see if you can't edit it out a little to make the flow more complete. overall a great write. keep it up!

    Music is everything to me as well dear poet. Thank you so very much for your comments on my work.

    This poem is so light and lovely. It reminds me of a soft springtime breeze. The vocabulary is eloquent and the punctuation adds such espression. It is a lovely write to read. Thanks for sharing it And thank you again for your comments on my work. Tis grand to have a fan

    I like this piece although I am not a fan of rhyme at all, it always feels forced and full of unessecary words lol. Great job I love nature too. Best to you in the contest

    Wow. That is all I can truly say. I know rhyming poetry is hard to pull off and no make it sound forced but you have indeed done just that. Bravo my friend. Never let your ink dry before you write again.

    Yes, music is like water when you're thirsty and life when you're dead. Music is the soul of nature and that you discribed very well here in this poem. I liked and enjoyed it. It seems we both have the same views about nature, the wind whispers and even the sound of grass as it dances with the wind, true nature's melody.
    You're a great writer, I enjoyed how you rhyme your poem with ease and no clichs.

    It seems you have a way just like me with rhyming words. To me there is nothing better then a poem that rhymes. This poem is really great and it would be a crime if you didn't win in the contest!
    This is excellent!

    I really like the title you've chosen for this and all of the words you've used to describe something you love so dearly. You can really tell it means a lot to you ^-^. And descriptions of sound in poems are something I really like =].
    GREAT job

    Music

    Music is everyone's life, and it is a way of locking yourself out, or a way of invoking thoughts. I like how you described the various emotions one would feel by just listening to music. I commend you on your good poetry. Awesome!
