Careless Nonchalance

Careless Nonchalance

A Poem by Alan S Jeeves
"

Take a walk in the rural morning and leave all your cares behind - A countryside poem from one of my pastoral collections.

"
I walk in the splendour of morning
As I, thinking 'my oh my';
Of a sudden, without any warning,
Flock dozens of birds in the sky.
They frisk by the clouds in the yonder
And tumble from hilltop to tree;
They flit by my head as I wander
And the birds are as careless as me.

Here I eschew all my troubles
As I laze, in the early of spring,
And rest by a stream, as it bubbles,
And wonder at birds on the wing.
Where I cast all my cares to the breezes
Which trespass around me, I guess,
In the whoosh from the west as it wheezes -
And really, I couldn't care less.

So, the birds in the blue keep on calling
And, looming from nowhere, they fall
Serenading the air as they're falling
And sweeting the day as they call.
And I, in my place in the heather,
And they, in their place, as they glide;
And we, in our places, together,
Could not share a care if we tried.

Did you know that they converse with each other, in their calls? I saw it on a documentary once about crows. The can be frightening to watch, as they fly in groups from tree to tree, squawking louder as they go. I think they're pretty intelligent birds, they're just misunderstood. You know, like most of us!

Nice to meet you, Alan!

An interesting fact Kelly, thank you. I think that no one is misunderstood as much as the poet.

Nature can be so uplifting. This poem is a delight. It lifts, it gives beautiful imagery but most of all it gives carefree feelings. In these troubled times, that is what we all need. A feeling that all is well. Your three, eight line stanzas a super read Alan. Good morning.
