Len Gasun Poet Quatorzain

Natures Photographer

Nature’s Photographer


Heaven’s water-tanks roll loud on each cloud
At beats of drum pounding each lonely heart
Rain heavily bursts in great rhythms, so proud
Wind sways abruptly with billowing skirt

Cloudburst’s grand orchestra plays at dark sky
Thirsty trees raise arms at marvelous sight
Birds in dense leaves watch, no attempt to fly
Plants---in toast of glassy-leaves with delight

Earth soaks itself with nature’s greatest drink
While beasts and critters are all wondering
Bright light from clouds flashes at times in winks  
Capturing nature’s concert with drinking

Lightning is nature’s star photographer
Paparazzo of nature’s caregiver
