The Song Of The Forest Poem by ANDREW BLAKEMORE

The Song Of The Forest

Rating: 5.0


The song of the forest
The wind in the boughs
That whistles through leaves it does blow,
It fills my heart
Like the love of a friend
That I had lost long ago.

The sound of the woodpecker
Tapping a trunk
The rhythm does echo around,
It fills my heart
With the beating of life
And always so sweet is the sound.

The chaffinch does sing
From the tallest of trees
And he's always hidden from view,
Calls for his mate
From the branch up above
The other birds sing along too.

The bees on the flowers
Are humming a tune
The melody rings through the air,
All of its players
In time with each other
The song of the forest I share.

you are acutely attuned to nature and paint wonderful word pictures with your pen, they come out alive with colours and sounds.10 Mamta

The songs of Nature you so well sing, Super images from there you bring, Like a love bird your melodis ring. CP

You astute rhymer, Mr. Blakemore! I Like the 3-6 pattern employed, here...subtle...almost undetectable...but works so well...mellifluous, indeed. Rock Solid penning, as always. F j R 2009
