POEMS ABOUT NATURE, CREATION & THE WORLD ABOUT US

I find nature has a very therapeutic, calming effect on me and I tend to slow down and feel more relaxed and peaceful when I have the time to enjoy it. Naturally, I often end up inspired to write a poem as a result, so all of these nature inspired poems are listed together below in one category. However, nature, creation and the world covers a whole range of aspects, so if you looking for a more specific topic I have categorised my poems further into ANIMALS, PLANTS, INSECTS, SEASIDE, SEASONS, WATER, WEATHER

Nature Poems

 

I love the calming effect that nature has on me.  This poem is the result of one of those moments when I forced myself to take time out.  It is written as a list poem and uses character reflection and imagery to carry the reader through the gradual process of the changing emotions.

 

Away from the hustle and bustle of life;
Away from the stress, and the worry and strife;
Away from the pressures of Mum and of wife;
Creation’s a wonderful thing. [click to continue…]

This silly alliteration poem does not use the usual repeating initial letters as alliteration ,but instead repeats the consonants and consonants blends, to demonstrate a specific type of alliteration called consonance.  It also includes one element of onomatopoeia.

 

Debra the Zebra did consonance classes
And Rodger the Badger did too;
Murtle the Turtle joined in the learning
In class at the consonance zoo. [click to continue…]
