"Mother Nature Capture" by Fatuma Hydara (me)

Author's Note: This was written AGES ago. Senior year of high school to be exact. In my Advanced Placement English class, as we studied the Romantics.
I peek with the view finder,
Excited of what could be seen.
In my little square of sight,
I see all I intend to see.

Freshly grown grass, greener and brighter
Than any Ive ever perceived.
Tree trunks thick and brown,
 with life within its leaves.

Little red birds gliding beneath,
a vivid blue sky, the clash of color startling.
A rabbit peeps from its borrow,
Wary of hidden prey.

With my lens I zoom in 20X,
And behold the life closer to the ground.
Millions of ants, in search of food
For their all-mighty queen.

My camera clicks and clicks,
As I capture natures beauty for myself.
