Poet of the week

Welcome POETS community,

For great penmanship and support of other poets within the community our
Poet of the week (week 67) goes to +Natasha Martin for her beautiful piece The passenger amazingly descriptive, Natasha captures life and the wonders of life perfectly and then crafts them into a magnificent poem. Well done Natasha, it is a pleasure to read your poetry and an honor to have you within the community showing your support and encouragement to other members.

✨The Passenger

A rainbow, a tree, a bird, the sky, clouds, grass & shapes๐ŸŒˆ
Two hawks flying around above the cows in the paddock๐ŸŒฑ
The new moon in the sky, the leave less trees with shapes that awes the eyes.๐ŸŒ™
The perfect images you want to capture as a photo are but a glimpse of beauty then in a few moments it is gone๐Ÿ“ท
The visual glimpses still reminiscing in my mind, satisfying my eyes with its beauty.๐Ÿ˜
Thoughts of how the colours & shapes of life created around me give off a sense of awe.✨
Capturing some moments on camera.๐Ÿ“ฒ
While the rest linger within my thoughts.๐ŸŒŒ
Expressing my appreciation for life & wondering what #messages are hidden.๐ŸŽ
Soak up & take your time through life.๐Ÿ›€
Rushing through life missing the opportunities.๐Ÿšช
Take the time to slow down & breath.✌
Enjoy the essence of your life.✨
