Paradise
Grass so lush
Soft underfoot
Tree’s full of blossom
Daffodils bow under
The weight of their blooms
Hyacinth peek between
Tufts of new growth
Buds emerging
Plants waking up
Pinks, Reds, Purples
And more
So many colours
So many shades
Light flickers
From mirrors
And water
A flash of wings
The tweet of song
The tinkle of water
Gentle swoosh
Wind through leaves
Petals fall
Like confetti
A cat meows
A dog barks
Splash
a frog maybe
There's nowhere
I’d rather be
Than my paradise
My Garden
On a sunny day

In honor of Mary Oliver’s work, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that is based in the natural world: it could be about a particular plant, animal, or a particular landscape. But it should be about a slice of the natural world that you have personally experienced and optimally, one that you have experienced often. Try to incorporate specific details while also stating why you find the chosen place or plant/animal meaningful.
