The songs of nature

The songs of nature

A Poem by Terry L & Linda L Shuff
"

The songs of Nature

"
To hear the songs of Nature
so pleasing to the soul.
Listening intently
I long to hear them all.

Even as a child at home
I heard them in the night.
Sitting on our front porch
Their singing in starlight.

In the day I'd stop my play
and listen to bird songs
often as a solo
or singing of the throngs.

I suppose I'll never know
what birds and crickets say.
Bullfrogs by the pond
or horses when they neigh.

With their songs I'll stay content
I have for all these years.
Thankful  for the music
the songs that nature shares.

I like the "feel" this one left behind my eyes.

I live near a huge wilderness area, so my place is very quiet, except for all these songs you write about, which I love. Your poem has a snappy rhyme & rhythm that gives it a song-like effect, as if the narrator is skipping along down the trail of critters & their noises. My favorite is stanza 4, which is playful personification & I like bringing in a variety of different characters. Excellent poem, a favorite style for me in terms of form and message (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
