Viridescent Balladry

Welcome to my world, I’ve woven my passion for this beautiful nature around us into a tapestry of 100 poems, each a window into my world, where the whispers of leaves, movement of a tiny ant under a stone and the dance of fireflies are as captivating as any fairy tale. Nature isn’t just a backdrop for me; it’s a constant companion, revealing its secrets in mushrooms’ delicate patterns, humming of the bumble bees, and mantis’s intricate lives. With my cat Milo by my side, I often find myself lost in these natural marvels, even on the simplest of walks around my neighbourhood. Through my poetry, I invite you into this enchanting realm. Let’s wander together through verses where every creature, from the rustling leaves to the scuttling critters, shares a story of beauty and harmony. Come, let’s fall in love with nature, one poem at a time!
