ial state poems of Tennessee, My Beloved Tennessee, was penned by Marlene Tidwell. Her recent book, Nature Sings, is a beautiful collection of poems, photography and vignettes inspired by nature and its seasons. Each poem leads the reader to a place of calm and serenity as they gaze upon the canvas of printed words and become enthralled by the beauty and bliss of nature.

In her poem, Midnight's Mystery, nature sings through the night as the moon and lake dance rocking the reader into a tranquil peace. The soothing symphony will play on your heart as you discover the secrets of nature in each verse. The natural world comes alive as scenes are painted through the printed word in each poem of this pastoral collection.

The green world of grass, trees and plants mingle together to sing the lyrics in each line in Nature Sings. Clouds, fancy and free ride through a summer's night in Gliders in the Sky and will whisk you away to the valley of serenity where the stress and worries of the day will vanish.

Prepare to be moved by the elegant writings of the poet that learned to write on the front porch of a farm in Tennessee.
