Clouds, ice crystals, flakes of snow
fish and frogs
deer and doe
the sky above, the earth below

each blade of grass
each leaf, each tree
performing nature's symphony

lightening flashes
dust and ashes
autumn leaves
bumble bees

thunderstorms
ants that swarm
all singing mother nature's song

sun shining bright
pale moonlight
stars that glow
winds that blow

cosmic rays
birds of prey
all part of nature's interplay

bright spring flowers
summer showers
plums and peaches
sandy beaches

flora, fauna
shifting sands
performing mother nature's dance

cold winter days
fog and haze
springtime storms
nights, soft and warm

each weather pattern
every season
all a part of nature's reason

Lyra,

This was a wonderful assault on the senses!  Your words brought stunning visuals and are a flowing reminder of Nature's all-encompassing beauty.

the essence of nature is here alright, would have liked to see the rhyme continue in the middle stanza to help keep the flow...

thunder storms
ants that swarm
the leaves that fall
the frost that forms?



that suggestion is no good I see, you've got snow at the top


nicely done!

Madam,
I doffs me 'at to you. There's a reason for this season...it's so you can write so beautifully about it.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

This is a most excellent write, Lyra. I was going to quote a verse here in my reply, as my favorite, but then that would be the entire poem.
