The rhymes all work, and the only place the stress pattern breaks is "covered." My reading is that this is a person who likes to observe nature, something like a birdwatcher, but who also appreciates the intricacies of an ecosystem so that even the less-desirable parts have their necessary niche. I can't come up with a relevance to the prompt, but I've never cared too much about that. I leave it on the honor system that the author was somehow inspired by it, even if it's not explicitly included. "Naturalist" doesn't single out insects, but they get the bulk of the attention here, with birds only mentioned in passing and the plants and earth not at all. I don't think it's necessarily an issue of rescoping the poem, but maybe the title needs to match the content a little more closely.

At first, this seems to fit the title, just a person taking in the natural world around them, but at the end it loses me. The "your features"—is the narrator speaking to one of the elements of nature? The hawk? The reader? I'm not even sure what "features" refers to, unless it's the terrain. And the last stanza went over my head. I don't know what the glow is or why slime would be hard. Structurally, it's mostly blank verse, though by being organized in stanzas, it may imply some organization of ideas. There are some big breaks to the rhythm, though. "Van Gogh's" doesn't fit, "water" has an extra syllable on the end of a line (which can be done in sonnets, but typically only formats like that where the corresponding rhymed line does the same thing). If there's a reason you broke from the stanza pattern to do a three-line one and a standalone line, that also goes over my head, and the first line of the former doesn't fit an iambic meter at all. I do like how the speaker's attention goes all around, so that they're noticing a great variety of things, and it creates a good atmosphere.

Thanks for reading, as always.

These poems were definitely about playing with iambic pentameter/tetrameter, and the places where you point out a deviation in the meter are "intentional"; I think the error is that they were mostly made for effect. For example, the extra syllable in "water" is supposed to be an interruption in the stolid walk of the iambs. I'm not sure whether that sort of thing is really the point.

Anyway, good to get gold, for once.
