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.

A Poetic Nature Trail   This children’s poem is full of alliteration and word play, with some hyperbole (exaggeration for effect) and similes and metaphors.  The poem is deliberately written to be ‘performed’ by a teacher, as if on a nature trail, with the purpose of encouraging children that they could be undiscovered poets.
