Write a poem about an experience in your life in which nature was the teacher.
There’s a certain familiarity
that lingers outback in the green,
where the chain of hearts dance down
to kiss the alovera leaves like that of a dream,
in nan and pops garden.
I think back to my childhood days
sitting amongst it all,
with nan and pop by my side
a tea and iced vovo on call.
The birds would whip
and the rain would fall,
in nan and pops garden.
As I begin to reach a time
where my head is fogged and my heart is sore
I come to the garden
and let the roots of home reassure.
Oh the love I have for nan and pops garden.
I love the way that plants grow from boots and tea pots about
And the lizards lay in slumber
without any sort of doubt.
I love the way I feel
when entangled in the love of nan and pops garden.
My Nan and Pop’s Garden is extremely sentimental to me. However, it is only now that I truly realise my appreciation for the garden as it has been what has comforted me most in times of self-crisis. This garden has taught me that if you give back to nature and care for it like my Nan and Pop do, it is sure to give love and reassurance back to you.
