The author is obviously a keen observer and lover of nature that he captured all that what he enjoys, the flash of the moment, and frame them all in mental shots through beautiful words. Kudos.

A surrounding views of Nature and the greenish and wavy atmosphere around the battered old bench is well exposed, while sitting so many other glimpses of watching and enjoyment stated, good. 15/620

You are very descriptive and full of details creating vivid imagery. I like the alliteration on B's carried throughout the poem. Excellent work.

Battered bench, Glistening grass,soothing sun, red rhododendron, cherry colored camellia, fine flowers etc! You should use spell check to make it perfect. LOL Almost every line has alliteration in it. A very expressive poem and made me wish I were there. Well done Nancy

Like some of your descriptions here - we all have a favorite spot to sit and observe. Just watch your verb tenses. The first 4 lines are in past tense, the rest in the present.

This poem is a well written free verse poem. I t has vivid mental imagery that takes the reader to that place and can feel the breeze, hear the birds and taste the gentle rain. Nice work. :0 GracieAnn

Yes, God may not be there when you want him. But he's
definitely always on time. And how beatiful his nature is
when he wraps you in his arms and clears your vision, to be
able to see his beautiful creations. You are a great writer. And
there! He blessed you with another gift. Keep writing. And
stay conected.
