Simple Verse- Nature's Ways Poem by Valsa George

Simple Verse- Nature's Ways

Rating: 5.0


A flock of cattle
in the green pastures graze
White herons
surround them as always

They fly up and down
and finally settle beside
to peck at the mites
clinging to their hide

Nature has
her unique ways
to appease her inhabitants
and they do amaze!

The mighty feed upon the weak.
All, being predatory,
Survival turns,
A sad story!

Often we watch, one's curse,
into another's boon turned
In Nature's grand design,
how strange things are aligned!

Yes, Nature has its wonderful designs for balancing things , Flora and fauna, fire and ice that balance each other.It is because of this that life survives on earth. Man is trying hard to unravel the mysteries of nature.A lovely poem.

First of all, so many thanks for your sincere prayers. Since 2008, after the heart attack, I am under treatment. In 2013 I resigned from the job. and in your words Often we watch, one's curse, into another's boon turned In Nature's grand design, how strange things are aligned! Having nothing else to do I started writing English poems in 2014. Though I had written a few poems earlier, too but I had been regularly writing Urdu poems since my boyhood, but then I paid full attention to English poetry. I am thankful to English poetry as it changed a religious man, a little extremist, into a loving liberal man. Friends like you helped me a lot to learn how to write an English poem. Though I am still learning but I think I am better now than what I was, both as man and as a poet. My muscles are weak and I cannot undergo in any type of operation, so I am living on medication. The positive thing is this that according to my doctor I am a stable patient. When I asked what does he mean by a stable patient, he told me I have only one disease and that is genetic, no sugar, no high blood pressure or anything like that. Thanks again I have taken much of your valuable time.

Thus our initiation into poetry is almost similar...! Both of us are accidental poets. I too didn't write anything till 2007. You started writing English poetry only in 2014. In a short span of time you have become a vibrant presence on poem hunter and have penned so many beautiful poems. In a way, your early retirement on account of ill health has been turned into a blessing. Now forget the fact that you are a patient. Let your lively spirit and youthfulness overcome all physical infirmities! Let a lot of positive energy flow from you and heal you perfectly! Our prayers and Best Wishes!

Nature's way keeps the balance. Overgrown flora in the wild need fauna to trim. And when animals grow without control predators come into picture. Lines in your poem capture the essence of nature. Beautiful write.
