Nurtured by Nature (A Retourne)

Contemplate the earth around you
What wonders can your eyes behold?
Perhaps a flowers fragrant blooms
And insects deep within the soil.

What wonders can your eyes behold?
The gift of life you'll often see
Living within the fertile land
Nurturing all of human kind.

Perhaps a flowers fragrant blooms
Can ease the fear of darkened skies
Ensuring growth through tempest dower.
Providing nature's guests, a gift.

And insects deep within the soil                                                                            
Must mend and till the earth anew                                                            
They give what other creatures take                                                                  
Assuring life will never end.

I truly love this new form of writing hon, it's really quite fun to read and the topics I see now, you're expanding, Wonderful work my friend!

I've been finding it very fun to experiment with structured forms.  It's like trying to solve a puzzle in which there are many things to consider.  Anyhow, I'm glad you liked these.  Also, I don't know if you noticed, but I did not use end rhyme in this poem or in the poem "Musing" which is a first for me.  I love to rhyme so it was a bit difficult to not give in to the urge.  I also have two other forms I tried...they are called "In God's Garden Canvas"  and  "Spirited from the Guf".  These two are a little on the spiritual side.  Thanks for you kind words, Shad.  Thank you for this forum too...it's great.
