Joanne Olivieri, my long time mentor and fellow poet, recently had a contest, requesting entries on the topic of music in nature. She announced the winners yesterday on her blog and I am honored to have been a runner up. Glynis Smy of Author Blog won with her poem, "Symphony of Life." The five honorable mentions were:

Music In Nature
Nature abounds
In all sorts of sounds,
That seem musical to my ears –
Gentle soft murmurs,
Violent crashing crescendos,
With electricity so hot that it sears.
The ripple of wheat,
in a soft summer breeze,
Or the ping of hail,
As rain starts to freeze.
The roar of a waterfall,
The droning of bees,
The cawing of crows,
Fluttering leaves in the trees.
The booming of thunder,
Waves caressing the shore,
They all create a symphony,
Need I say even more?
