Nature Boy

So, I’ve never been a true nature boy Although a cool and lazy night in June Just sitting in the darkness I enjoy An open starlit sky behind the moon. As a gentle breeze caresses my face, Upon my back I feel the long day’s heat. And of my cares and worries not a trace As into relaxation I retreat. The lightning bugs in flight pay me no heed, Eliciting a chuckle as they dance, I wish them best of luck as they proceed With all the twinkling stars to make romance. I’m colorblind, so hues I can’t employ… So, I’ve never been a true nature boy. 5/14/2019 Nature Scene-Orphan Sonnet Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Dale Gregory Cozart |
