Valley Clock.

The knitted trees of the forest pattern the skyline well.
A great swathe of dark shadow
That clings pugnaciously to the hillside.
And there below, where the valley, twists and turns
In a fever of escape,
A buzzard is devouring the loneliness,
His cat like cries clinging to the stillness, clinging to my mind,
Like the fragments of a well remembered dream.
And in a wild flower meadow, conducted by the breeze,
A band of crickets strike up and the delicate flowers come together
In an intimate dance of the wild.
At the edge of a redundant pond a frog croaks,
His lusty decibels speaking of freedom.
My heart ticks the valley clock
And the great swathe of the forest is rampant still.

Hi Dennis,
I know I've said it before but no-one on this
site quite reaches the heights that you do
when inspired to write about the magic of
Nature - and this one is right up there with
your best. Keep em coming, my friend!
Tommy

I agree with Tommy/Spud! You are our Master Nature writer! So many awesome lines: knitted trees, a buzzard devouring lonliness, an intimate dance of the wild and you heart ticking the valley clock! GREATNESS!

From the opening line I knew this was going to be a poem worthy of reading.
The images come together so well to paint a picture that is truly breathtaking.
I must confess to reading it twice because I enjoyed the imagery so much.
