Most days I like nature

Sky, flowers, birds and trees

But there are occasions

When nature does not please

Nights of soaking rains pass

Weeds rocket from wet ground

Wish deer would eat green weeds

Ignore my flower mound

Pollen count is rising

My itchy eyes are red

And my nose is stuffy

A sleepless night in bed

Then I step in dog poo

And I don't own a dog

Today I'm late for work

Trip slow through heavy fog

Through dark night brown rabbits

Browse all through my garden

Lettuce leaves are missing

Cozy feelings harden

Blackberries in my fridge

Turn white from fuzzy mold

Annoyed that tiny spores

Grew in a place so cold

Most days I like nature

But some days I concede

Nature tries my patience

Must swallow bitter weed

But nature has a way

To bring balance around

Sit still, watch and listen

There's beauty to be found
