Analysis of The Nature of Poetry



All nature is like poetry;
Poetic beauty seen.
It moves like choreography
With bushes in between.

It plays symphonic forest tunes;
Melodic poetry.
Its best times in the afternoon;
A symphony for me.

The poetry of nature will
Combine the sounds and sights
Of poetry that can instill
Much beauty days and nights.
