Wild Woods

The woods that were meant to be wild
Untamed and free, nature reconciled
Their wildness is a treasure
A natural pleasure
And forever, their wildness will beguile

This limerick describes the untamed and wild nature of the woods.

The imagery used in the poem evokes feelings of adventure and freedom.

The first line sets the scene and the second line introduces the main subject, the wild woods, the third line describes its untamed nature, the fourth line gives the consequence of this wildness and the final line gives the conclusion of the story.
