Mother Nature
Has a broom.
Stands above Earth,
Power over life and ruin.
Sweeps with the wind,
The rain and snow.
Pounding thunder and lightning,
Making sunshine glow.
And, when she feels,
It’s about time,
She'll start to clean,
The dirt and grime.
She’ll blow the dust,
Dry the mud.
Dissolve salt and sand,
With her soapy suds.
The hail will pounce,
Gusts scrape away,
The residue of those,
Harsh Winter days.
She’ll move the air,
At high velocity.
Warm and cold clash,
Pushed to the sea.
Branches will break,
Power lines will snap.
Eventually become frayed,
Pendants as they flap.
For her task,
She’ll quickly complete.
Oh, so powerful,
Never skips a beat.
What’s left for all,
Is fresh and new.
Fair weather clouds,
Across a sky of blue.

Currently having a stop from wielding my besom - cup of tea and rugby on TV - blue sky, grass cut, roses sprayed and all's well with the world. And all's well with this delightful poem.
Thanks Michael. I like the way you think. I feel great when my chores are done and I can sit and relax. I like to watch cooking shows and golf. Thanks for the delightful comment!
I would love to sit here and read poetry all day but its a beautiful day I guess I go and mow? nice poem WBL
Today looks great and the rest of the week as well. Hoping to get up and walk in the early mornings now. Yes, we all need to get out and get the Spring air in our lungs. Thanks WW!
Love all your Poems HONEY and Mother Nature's Broom is another gem. She sure has done a good job here and the last few day are almost SUMMER ! Clear Skies ~ 60 to 70 F and no rain. The GIRLS all look lovely in their Spring Dresses and no shoes in the Meadows ~ AWESOME~ just what we needed for the Grand National Horse Racing Wek and the start of the Cricket Season (One game last 5 days !) ~ Hugs BRIAN
You have written so many gems Dear Brian! Glad you are having great days and exciting events! Thanks for your comment! Hug right back!

Mother Nature
For me it's the one
Truth.... great poem
WBL.. I loved it.
Yes P.H. I remember your wonderful tribute to trees. There is truly nothing like the great outdoors 🙂
Thanks so much!
never thought about it but you are right,loved the image
I thought that was great too! Thanks wordman. I thought of this while in a flight from Chicago to Philadelphia this week. Got caught in very bad weather with lightening, thunder, and wind. I could see the weather map and thought of a sweeping broom. It was exciting, yet a little scary. We were stuck on the tarmac for an hour due to strikes. I had not flown for over 30 years! I have a great respect for the pilot, crew and attendants. Thanks again wordman!
lol,i haven't flown since my military days,coming home on leave,and going back
i never thought you could hit bumps in the air
I had my fill. Ha Ha
Wonderful, loved the last stanza!
Thank you Kurt. It is what it is like after a storm, isn't it? All of a sudden, everything clears up. Weather is amazing. Thank you so much for your comment!
Super write, I spent my day with nature in my garden yesterday.
Thank you Goldfinch! I cannot wait for it to warm up here so I can do the same. Have to clear out my garden area around my water feature, which has to be clean of leaves, etc. But, the hard work pays off, doesn't it? Glad you could get outside. Expecting great weather this week. Keeping my fingers crossed!
One of my favorites.
I always liked the idea of the planet being sentient, always having to deal with us awful creatures.
10/10 : )
Appreciate that Psentinel. Like the point of view 🙂
