Scenery Medley contrasts

Scenery Medley contrasts

Marshes and meadows 
Sunshine and shadows 

Gentle ripples on the calm river 
Foaming rapids in white water 

The jungle echoes in the semi-darkness 
while daylight creepy-crawlies clear the mess.

Peasants toiling and pheasants scratching 
as I spy a cricket somersaulting 

The cactus the desert's prickly femme-fatale 
elsewhere a lone leaf floats in the canal 

Prairie dogs go popping 
while hares go hopping 
and ladies go shopping 

Swans have formed a fine V-line 
The flora too is divine 
as bees nosedive in bee-line. 

Siesta seizes birdlovers too 
Thus they miss out on the hoopoe's song 
For the hoopoe, it does not sing on cue 
since a bird may sing anytime to woo. 

What a medley eh of contrasting scenery 
Evening twilight and dawning greenery 

Ah, wherever you go nature's so panoramic 
While we make and take pictures  
God actually made what's so picturesque!

A beautifully descriptive piece that uses balanced pacing to propel it along-I adore anything that can bring a mental image immediately to mind and this hits the bill!! Well done, nice work enjoyed the read.

"The cactus the desert's prickly femme-fatale" ... Great line; I liked the consonance of "c" sounds and alliteration ("femme-fatale") ...

What I enjoyed most about this piece was the "machine-gun-like" staccato burst of words. A rat-ta-tat-tat beat cascading down the page in rapid-fire.
Great work!

Oh well I think it's being read in a hurry, it could be read slowly when we have the time lol. Machine gun gah, I'm too soft and gentle for that term.
thanx so much for your comment.

I'm a very gentle person too, S.zaynab.kamoonpury . But I used an M16 while enlisted in the Marine Corps, heh-heh.
Anyhow, you're more than welcome.

Hi Sz,

Mother Nature's creatures play
From sunrise till the end of day
She orchestrates this symphony
If left alone, so lovely be

.
But Mankind now attacks her trees
His products kill her precious bees
Her purest waters now pollute
For Mankind's greed is resolute

Peace and Love,
Larry xxx
