Little Wonders

A Poem by A.Lee

Today I saw the yellow sun

Moving high above the trees

The morning birds sang their song

As the dewy grass brushed my feet

 

Today I saw a tiny rabbit

Hopping quickly through the grass

Flowers swaying in its wake

As it hurried to get past

 

Today I saw a fleeting spark

Shine in my little boy’s eyes

As he smiled and ran to play outside

I began to realize

 

Today I saw the strongest tree

Get knocked down in its prime

It gave way as the strong wind blew

Robbing it of its time

 

Today I saw that life is full

Of little wonders every day

But we rarely stop to notice

As they bloom then fade away

 

Today I saw that life is precious

Whether rabbit, child, or tree

We never know how long it will last

But we know it won’t always be

This is kind of clumsy, in my opinion, but I just wanted to get these thoughts out :)

Such beauty and wisdom in your words. I like the poem. You brought visions of nature to me in your words. A wise person can see the beauty in his life. I have a bad job. When I get home and see my daughter and grandson. I heal from the burden of life. A outstanding poem.

Clumsy? It's beautiful. It's sweet and laced with wisdom in each verse. For all it's simplicity, a delightful read.

This was awesome! I loved reading it! It had such a nice vibe to it. Fantastic job. I have input other than that it was a great poem, even if some parts were a little messy, it still rocked.

Sounded fine to me. I liked it for it's message and I thought the rhymes were fine.

I like your writing, and I can understand why one would want these thoughts put down on paper and then up on the internet.
However,
It is an unimpressive commonly used subject, the vocabulary is bland, the imagery doesn't flow and it's just not your best.

aww, your writing is so sweet and lovely. I adore the description you used and i completely agree with the message.

i can imagine you see these things and being inspired and quickly searching for a pen and paper so you can catch all the thoughts exploding out of you

Nice thoughts but as you say could have been presented better
