Greetings, fellow poets and nature enthusiasts,
As we gather once again to celebrate the beauty of language and the wonders of the natural world, let's turn our gaze to the profound influence of nature in poetry. From the majestic mountains to the tranquil rivers, from the delicate blossoms to the whispering trees, nature has long served as a wellspring of inspiration for poets throughout the ages.
What aspects of nature resonate most deeply with you in your poetry? Do you find yourself drawn to the serenity of a sunset, the tumultuous power of a storm, or the delicate beauty of a flower in bloom? How does your connection with nature inform your poetic voice and shape the themes and imagery of your work?
Join us as we embark on a journey through the poetic landscapes of nature, exploring the myriad ways in which the natural world inspires, enchants, and moves us. Let's share our favourite nature poems, swap stories of personal encounters with the great outdoors, and revel in the timeless beauty of nature's poetry.
We walked a forest path when a girl passing the opposite direction tore off her designer sunglasses and screamed when a bug landed on them. As she brushed off her clothes, I thought she brushed off nature.
Curious.
I enjoyed the walk.
Embracing Nature
As I walk through the verdant forest,
I breathe in the cool, crisp air,
sweet pine tingling my tongue.
allowing my thoughts
to drift like autumn leaves
tumbling through the breeze.
The branches above sway
in a rhythm, only nature choreographs,
their leaves whispering tales
of time's unyielding passage.
