In Nature's Time

In Nature's Time

A Poem by Susan Beth Horvath

Nature, in its finest hour
Does not work to times' devour

It is a wonder of the seasons' clime
Each season washes in its note
On its own tidal float
Nature works to its own good time

Nature has no forward spin
To race the natural span’s engine

There’s no sudden bolt from the blue
It’s all a drifting sense of merge
No strike of outing purge
Haze becomes a clear-sight view

Settle in a comforts’ realm
Nature, with paintbrush at the helm

Realises a colouring to full extent
Enthuses cobalt’s, exotic greens
Red and all diverse scenes
Whatever is in natural experiment

Sit and watch a pleasant day
See the night-scope in twinkled array

Change of dress in natural wear
The softened clouds rolling by
Relax the vision of your eye
And live your life in nature’s care

I really liked the rhyme scheme in this. Was it an official form or something you cooked up out of the blue?

I truly enjoyed the mood and tone of this, and the subject matter is delicious. The point being made is also clear and lovely. So many fantastic phrases.

I think some flow could be improved some.
Also, there are some interesting/confusing choices that gave me pause:
" a comforts' " did me in, since "a" indicates singular, but comforts' is plural possessive. I couldn't figure the true meaning here, alas.
" times' " brought me to a similar confusion. Possibly you meant time's?
" cobalt's " should this simply be "cobalts" with no possessive?

I will not continue to obsess, but I would urge you to check your apostrophes, plurals and possessives. :)
