The World Is A Busy Place

Green pines laugh in the breeze,
Red lilies grin in the rain,
Squirrels jump to a race,
Satellites launch to outer space.
Z Z z z z….
See who is napping in woods,
M M m m m…
Discover beauty in nature’s truth;
Seasons of changes,
Shifts of gears;
Ebbs and flows of growth,
The conquer of fears;
Live Life in FREE verse,
Experiment poetry in reverse;
…
The world is a busy place,
Let’s embrace and re-measure our pace.

    how refreshingly done…in free verse.
    love the onomatopoeia in ZZzzz and Mmmm

    and the Live Life in FREE (almost jumps out) verse.

    season's of change as a shift of gears….cool trope.

    nicely done. good job.

    I love the feel of this one on the mouth as I read it. Very clever use of words to produce something very light and zingy, but full of taste, and refreshing.

    This just lurches ambiently along in its own lazy way, making the reader feel relaxed and happy with the world.
    What a skill that is!
    The little clouds in the blue sky of the page helps ;-)

    Love this one. Nature is stronger than we all think. Our Earth is the greatest place to be, even when it's a busy place to be.
    Nature ... strong in every season.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Happy Rally!

    This is nice, I like that you've focused on the natural world and included many moments that might actually help us slow down if we took the time to notice them. Live life in FREE VERSE...now that's a call I can answer.

    Hi Morning,

    This one works for me really well. I like the juxtaposition of the natural and the mechanical/technological, and the conclusion suggesting, as I understand it, to check in and find a more balanced pace.

    Thanks again for reading and commenting on so much of my poetry. I really appreciate it.
