Wooden Melodies

Trees sway as the summer winds sing.

A melody,

An anthem,

A roaring chant,

A calming mantra.

Flowers bloom as they hear this theme,

An endless chorale full of nature’s beauty.

A cycle,

A motif,

Repeating itself,

Until the end of time.

This is a poem that I wrote about nature, I tried to shape it into the general shape of a tree. I wrote it because of the rare moments I've experienced in nature, where the temperature is perfect and the mosquitos don't sting.

I think swans are interesting, and I was lucky enough to observe a fully grown black swan. Swans had a pretty big misconception about their wing strength, with many people saying they could break bones with a flap of their massive wings. This myth was busted by John Huston of the Abbotsbury Swannery in Dorset. Swans also mate for life, which is probably why they are portrayed as a romantic symbol. French composer Saint-Saëns also wrote a very popular cello piece called Le Cygne, meaning "The Swan".
