Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Nature

Presumptuous to think
that all should be subject
to man’s will – We highest
on the Pecking Order! Till
nature shouts her feminine trill,
has her monarch fill, clawing
back, with undressing wind,
voluminous waves, and
impaling chill -- 

For no man can command
the summer’s end,
nor the fall’s exact rate of exchange

though we give such cycles a day
Mother will have her own whimsical
way, reminding us, that she is forever
wild and free...seeming a season abrupt
or a never-ending frosting eternity….

Hiya Sharma January 3, 2024 at 8:37 PM This is a very evocative write, Joe..You've so wonderfully conveyed, how humans tend to extend their domination in every subject and try to tame all happenings but, nature actually shows who is the real creator of everything that we have..She has her own freedom and a wild heart that knows no boundaries..I love the wordplay here throughout and especially "Till nature shouts her feminine trill, has her monarch fill, clawing back, with undressing wind"And that ending line!Wow, a magnificent piece. Joseph P. DiMino January 4, 2024 at 1:06 PM Thank you, Hiya; your wonderful, encouraging comment has made my day. Blessings. Very Happy New Year.

Vijay Pandit December 29, 2023 at 5:56 AM reminding us, that she is forever wild and free--so true, my friend. Man does not have that power! Joseph P. DiMino January 1, 2024 at 1:53 PM The powers that man exercises most are, arrogance, foolishness, self-centered glutenous pride. Blessings my friend.

Ink Empress December 29, 2023 at 5:55 AM Never ending frosting eternity! What a line to end this very deeply meaningful and profound poem. I love the flow of this and also how you’ve written “ Presumptuous to think that all should be subject to man’s will –“ so true but often we see that… well delivered! Soulful write, pleasure reading your work Joseph P. DiMino January 1, 2024 at 1:55 PM Thank you, IE. We make ourselves seem complicated, but I am certain that other beings, far more advanced, consider us quite shallow and petty when it comes to subjects that eternally matter.
