Question

nature trail poem summary

Answer 1

At the bottom of my garden 
There's a hedgehog and a frog 
And a lot of creepy-crawlies 
Living underneath a log, 
There's a baby daddy long legs 
And an easy-going snail 
And a family of woodlice, 
All are on my nature trail. 

There are caterpillars waiting 
For their time to come to fly, 
There are worms turning the earth over 
As ladybirds fly by, 
Birds will visit, cats will visit 
But they always chose their time 
And I've even seen a fox visit 
This wild garden of mine. 

Squirrels come to nick my nuts 
And busy bees come buzzing 
And when the night time comes 
Sometimes some dragonflies come humming, 
My garden mice are very shy 
And I've seen bats that growl 
And in my garden I have seen 
A very wise old owl. 

My garden is a lively place 
There's always something happening, 
There's this constant search for food 
And then there's all that flowering, 
When you have a garden 
You will never be alone 
And I believe we all deserve 
A garden of our own.

Answer 2

This is a simple children’s poem emphasizing the beauty of Nature.In this poem, the poet has used the example of a garden to show the nature’s beauty.He is trying to say that even any empty or undeveloped piece of ground has a lot of lessons to teach about the beauty and ecology of our nature.If a person focuses on the beauty of nature with his eyes, ears, and heart he wouldn’t really need to specially visit the nature reserves, instead he should focus on the beauty around him.He has used the examples of a  number of animals like frogs, snails, woodlice etc who are present in his garden adding the liveliness to the beautiful garden.Many animals like caterpillars, ladybirds, fox, and cats etc are also there adding the beauty to the garden and their presence helps the poet to understand the rhythm of life.He says that this liveliness adds to his happiness and therefore he advised that all of us should have a garden and focus on its liveliness and beauty to understand the nature.
