Nature’s fair canvas coloured by skilful brush
each billowing cloud unique and fleeting in form hue and shade
each curve and sweep of landscape carved by mystical sculptor
each line of tree planted by a master hand
each blade of myriad green springs forth to reach its zenith
burns dry in heat of summer desiccates
lies waiting for the cycle of rebirth
each swell of tide turns ocean brown blue
turquoise and broken by white horses
what greater work of art could this gypsy capture
than nature’s dynamic masterpiece

Lovely Gilly!
Beautiful verse, Gilly. Truly in fine form 🙂
Ahh you sweetie 🙂

Wow, what an inspirational post…..that landscape is just too beautiful for words, and yet you found them 🙂
Gilly, your descriptions are vivid and the imagery stunning. 🙂

The gypsy has a fine turn of phrase 🙂 And what a great photo!
oh Gilly, loved your words that illustrate your photo so well. thanks for sharing!
An excellent choice for Work of Art!
I like your intro very much:
“Nature’s fair canvas coloured by skilful brush
each billowing cloud unique and fleeting inform hue and shade
each curve and sweep of landscape carved by mystical sculptor…”
your photo is very painterly, and poem a fitting tribute to Mother Nature 🙂
Beautiful in word and form, Gilly.
This is just beautiful! Nothing more to say just beautiful!
Incredible nature’s work of art. Beautiful, impressive accompanying words. One can go by itself. Both pictures and words make it golden!
Looks like a painting! Is it near Land’s End?
It’s near Sidmouth in Devon so you got the right region, you know Lands End then?
Lovely, Gilly!
Nature’s glorious canvas at its best. Breatakingly beautiful.
Breathtakingly beautiful Gilly! Nature’s lovely masterpiece indeed, delivered to us in evocative verse. Thank you.
