Tag: Nature

Poems about nature. Well, this is an easy and likewise easily accessible topic. Nature is all around us, and we are also part of it.

Some of these poems are also poems about scenery, whereas many deal directly with the sensed experience of nature. Of being in it and interacting with it. Of feeling that one is part of it.

Some of them may have a highly visual value and others are contemplative. The one thing they all have in common is that they deal with nature in all its aspects. How it shapes and defines us. How we experience it.
