Scenery Medley contrasts

Marshes and meadows
Sunshine and shadows

Gentle ripples on the calm river
Foaming rapids in white water

The jungle echoes in the semi-darkness
while daylight creepy-crawlies clear the mess.

Peasants toiling and pheasants scratching
as I spy a cricket somersaulting

The cactus the desert's prickly femme-fatale
elsewhere a lone leaf floats in the canal

Prairie dogs go popping
while hares go hopping
and ladies go shopping

Swans have formed a V-line
The flora too is so divine
as bees nosedive in bee-line.

Seista seizes birdlovers too
Thus they miss out on the hoopoe's song
For the hoopoe, it does not sing on cue
since a bird may sing anytime to woo.

What a medley eh of scenery
Murky eve and dawning greenery

Ah, wherever you go nature's so panoramic
While we make and take pictures
God actually made what's so picturesque!

Another lovely poem. Beautifully observed details of contrasts. Nature certainly is so panoramic. It does make one realise how inadequate is mankind in comparison. But we certainly can appreciate God's picturesque scenes. Thank you for writing this poem.

Ah yes glad how u acknowledge God, wow yes His picturesque scenes, my purpose fulfilled. Warmest thanxx, take care.

[Great Aunt Astri]

I see you have only got two poems posted up on face Book. I think you have some more?

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Hmm yeah more will be coming but I have too many Tim e constraints. In your 30s its hard to find time I guess.

[Great Aunt Astri]

Oh you are still young! Still in the 'experiencing life' zone. There will be plenty of time later. Perhaps you could do what I did . Jot down ideas and rough copies now, then, when you have more time, in later years, do some editing and making them into good poems.

[Jasmin]

Very nice, it reminds me of how amazing nature is in the jungle. The imagery was beautiful . Keep up the good work!

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Warmest thanx. Quite a medley of scenes this was, recalling what I saw. Now am wondering if I read yours too. Going to check u out pal.

Welcome. The animal kingdom in technicolour,
where everything happens for a reason.
Only spoiled when man gets involved.
Yeah, God sure did a great job.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

I enjoyed this part, this is really good. you write with imagery. nicely done

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Warmest thanx for the feedback, happy new yr.

[Taino]

FIrst of all, very well done. All things interconnected, though some so far apart. Each with a purpose, working independently for the one. I like it.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Yay, connected yet differ, wow I like how u summed it, thanx so much for a fine comment.

[Byron Patterson]

This poem reads very well. Stop me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the big message here is how everything is different and contrasting, but somehow they fit together perfectly like a puzzle. Everything is so simple on its own, but together it creates a beautiful complexity.

Well written. Good job.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Yay your comment n thoughts about it are poetic and great in itself, the grand puzzle of life, thanx soo much for your smart review. Cheers.

[Asante]

This is beautifully picturesque!

The way you weave images together, complete yin and yang ideas that drive the title home, really impresses me. I couldn't pick a favorite stanza because this asks to be read in a single sitting, as one entity. Strong writing.

They say you're only as good as your last work(s), but I'm absolutely looking forward to your next! Peace!

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Thanx soo much for tge review. Cheers.

[Himaya Ka]

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

[Rheia]

Ah, this is beautiful! Just had flashbacks from times when I have been to Indonesia.
You see the little and most beautiful things that nature gives us and it's all brought to life in this piece and I love it! It's colourful, bright and all around fun. Very enjoyable. Makes me want to actually go outside and take a walk, if only I wasn't in such a city-like area.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Warmest thanx for feedback, wow u went to indonesia, wud luv to go there. Im indian-arabian n luv meeting friends. Hapy new yr.

[Zoya]

Wow, I love the descriptions! The pictures that formed in my mind's eye were very vivid, colourful and really complemented the lovely words used in this piece. Well written!

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Warm thanx young poetess. Take care.

[Zoya]

You, too. You're most welcome.

[TheRavensWoods]

I really enjoyed this poem! I enjoyed picturing each line in my mind and the clear love for nature that you wrote into it. Nature truly is beautiful. This poem reminded me how healthy it is to just go and be outside sometimes even in the cold! Great poem and thanks for the reminder of nature’s beauty.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]
