Nature Poem

So I've decided to post a new piece of article I've written or write in the moment every day or two from now on. I will start by posting one of the first poems I wrote, inspired by sitting on a bench during a debate tournament 3 years ago.

Today I listened to the birds' shrill ring
I listened to them laugh
I listened to them sing
Today I watched the grass glisten green
Under the rain, so clear and serene
Today I saw the blossom of flowers
As I sat there a good number of hours
Purple, red, white, and yellow
I felt nature so calm and so mellow
Nature, so coherent and pristine
Works beauty in everything that’s seen
I heard this quickly come and go
With the footsteps of people to and fro
Nature, together in harmony
And us humans, in a cacophony
If nature can do it, then why can't we?
