Nature's Melody

Nature's Melody
by Aaron Kane

The sound of the summer breeze,
sweeping through the leaves of the maple trees,
whispering the melody of Nature's sweet song.

The chirp of the crickets as day turns to dusk,
say, "Goodnight," to the sun,
the light dancing above us.

The tune of the mockingbird,
singing "Good morning!" to a new day,
as the first rays of light shine upon the land.

The trickle of a stream,
flowing through a valley,
saying, "Come, drink!" to all life.

The cry of the rain,
showering down on the earth,
with its thirst-quenching tears.

The bang of Thunder,
announcing his strength,
with his fear-inspiring call!

The rush of the waves,
reshaping the shore,
creating a soothing, yet powerful roar!

The melody of Nature,
is mighty and calm,
a simple, yet wondrous song for all!

I just randomly came up with this poem while I was laying on my hammock outside, so it might sound kind of stupid or cheesy, so give me some feedback...

International Library of Poetry

Hey! I recently got a letter in the mail that said I am a semifinalist in the International Library of Poetry's poetry contest! My poem will also be published in their book! Here's a the poem that I entered, it is also down at the bottom of the page, but for your convenience, I'm going to put it up here too.

Where I'm From
Aaron Kane

I am from family get-togethers at my grandparents' farm,
from hay rides, and bingo, and walks throught the jungle of corn stalks.
I am from the 50 million relatives that I don't know,
from walking down that mile-long lane.

I am from Denny and Tina,
from my 7 brothers and sisters.
I am from Ethan, Matthew, Erica, Seairra, and Ava,
from dogs and cats, lizards and turtles, and all the other critters that we had.

I am from driving 800 miles every September in our old Town & Country,
from building sandcastles to boogie boarding with my best friend.
I am from hiking in the green rolling Appalachians,
from walking across the crystal clear mountain water,
wiggling though the evergreens.

I am from all these people, places, and times,
taken for granted until the day Steve died,
from old pictures and memories, frozen in time,
from laughing and crying with the people I love.
I am from moments, both wonderful and terrible,
from my family and friends, my favorite people in the world.
