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
