UnleashedI seldom make promises --
man of my word, promises
leave no wiggle room…
and, most of us, at least
occasionally, like a good
wiggle
test our physical and
mental ranges for gyration --
In fact, on deeper analysis,
nothing really is ever stationary --
not time nor space
the closet thing to Perpetual-still
being the human heart, refusing
to give up on love, despite...

The Jungle Untamed"Lost, in a fight for survival, a man refuses to succumb to a harsh wilderness." - quote by poet.
A great aerial adventure comes to
A harrowing end for one man.
His hot air balloon malfunctions;
It comes crashing down in the middle
Of a...

Wake up O Inhabitants of this Earth ii
My Poem of 2009-10 resubmitted for new members of Poetry Soup.
Wake up O Inhabitants of this Earth ii
.
Wake up before it is too late
Wake up before the misdeeds with Nature
Takes away with them, the best
And the most beautifully nourished and preserved
Our priceless and most precious wealth
The ice from Mountains, Glaciers...

DAILY GRATITUDE WATERFALLS
May you be blessed every now
to listen to nature’s call…
and follow the music of a stream
until you discover a waterfall….
to sit there for a while
and forget about everything….
as the only sound you hear
is how the flowing water sings.

TAKE A HIKE
There were times when I was young…when I got on my parent’s nerves…
when I did things they did not like…
when they wanted me out of their hair they might tell me, “Go take a hike”
Of course that meant to stop bugging them…to let them be…to go away…
to read a book, watch TV or go outside...

Rhythm of a river
Contest: Rolling With The Rs
Sponsor: Nette Onclaud
Date Written: 3rd August, 2025
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Heartbeat,
loud in my chest,
sings with sweet melody,
like the cadence of a streamlet,
when its silver ribbons drape the mountains,
with a smile that delights the sands,
as it cascades the slopes
and thunders—like
heartbeat....

The Mentor"The more in science we advance,
The more do we grow," you say;
Still, Nature's love, abundance
Forgive us all in every way.
She lessons us to endure
Just like the green grasses do;
We, humans, can't all ensure;
We fail to remain pure and true.
Time's supposed to take all away;
She teaches all how to accept;
Rise and fall, the night and the...

Each inch of my nicheThe whirlwind rolled in rings at the eyewall,
Wild gale blew through the open tropical field.
I'd forgotten to close the windows tight,
And the ensuing rain inundated each inch of my niche.
The hurricane hurriedly stripped the veld of its peace.
Dry air pacified the expanse of the grassland,
The massive flood drained into a sunken cesspool,
My thoughts swayed to...

Rhythm of a RiverRiver,
undulating,
cascading through rainbow,
pavonine, prismatic, shimmer,
like a serpent slithering down the hill.
She hums a song of the mountains,
that echoes in vale as,
rhythm of flowing
river.

Contours Cyhydedd Fer SonnetContours make a fool of your eyes,
shadows smile wearing a disguise.
Split-second metamorphosis,
too quick to ever reminisce.
That alabaster train floating,
the gal with her sweetheart doting.
What was it I thought I just saw?
Blink and miss nature in the raw.
Paint-drops on the world around us,
broken polish will cause a fuss.
Shivering when they juxtapose,
a mirage of silhouettes grows.
With...
