One Step

one step outside
is all it takes
to be able to see the breeze as it gives life to the trees
freeing them and letting them dance around
to hear to birds filling the air with sound
songs that stay there forever
to be able to see the snakes slithering through the grass
trying to make it back into their hole of a house
to be able to see a bright blue sky dotted with clouds
a sun bringing light to all below it
to be able to see flowers blooming and gaining their colors
as they realize spring is upon them
one step outside
is all it takes
to see this amazing world we live in
and all it has to show
Great poem Lucas. You did good with the techniques were learned in class and it was very descriptive.

Your Poem takes the reader into your walk with your vivid details. The end was especially great in how you said "we" to include the reader in your detailed poem.

Lucas, this poem is truly moving and motivational, and I will be honest it brought a tear to my eye. I could not agree more that by just stepping outside, we can appreciate the incredible work of Mother Nature and not take this world for granted. Thank you!

Lucas, this is a very good poem. I love your descriptive vocabulary as well as the verb chioces. You used a lot of great diction and made the poem shine.

Nice poem Lucas! I really liked how you incorporated vivid verbs and two line stanzas in your poem like we learned in class. Bravo!
