Sunny,

I always come to you when I am in need of some nature poetry. I was glad to see you had written one recently and it hadn't yet been commented on. I'm very much inspired by nature, not enough to write nature poems the way you can but even in my art practice it seems to be coming through lately. I feel like you're able to capture the small moments, you know most people write about nature and don't look at the fine details the way you do.

I love the reference to ant hills, the image isn't something I see in my everyday life nor is it something I often find in poetry, to be honest I don't think I have seen anyone else use it yet. I think what I enjoyed most about this poem was the fact you're actually dreaming of nature, you're dreaming of the place you find yourself most at peace and yet it isn't abstracted. It's a clear image for you which really shows the reader how comfortable you are with yourself. You know yourself.

"rising wolves howl from
the echo of mating
neighbors,"

This was my favourite, again as I said you think of the details. Most people would mention wolves howling but not why they were unless it was one of those dark and eerie sorts of poems.

A wonderful read

Simply Wow...! I could eye some really good imagery and you are the best when it comes to nature!

Keep writing:)

There is always something relaxing in your poems, I think it's how you incorporate your feelings with the nature aspects and I know how important nature is to you, and how it calms you...

I feel that you were having one of those moments where you felt scrunched up, restricted, and not yourself and you let the world speak to you, you let nature be your guide and this poem shows so much of you, it shows so much gentleness amongst the feelings inside

Really beautifully penned as always

Wow, I love the lay out you had for this poem, your words really spoke out to me, fabulous poem!!! Two thumbs up for your beautiful work!!!

This is one of the finest nature poems I've read. If not the finest one.

There's much serenity in your tone, much 'natural' flow. And the images of the ants is splendid.

Great piece.

I bow down to the Queen of Nature. :P

The way you connect with nature and poetry is simply indescribable. I'm in awe, every single time... probably the reason why I can't ever write a worthy comment on your pieces.

It's like you create snapshots with your words, pictures of details that can't be seen with just your eyes... something magical to be captured with a flash. I guess that's the photographer coming out of me, haha.

*sigh* Lovely!

An Exquisitely Fanciful Write, Maple!!!
