Best Naturally Poems
Above all, let's respect Nature,
It's God's gift, a divine structure;
The heavens declare His glory,
In His wisdom founded the earth
And wrought the miracle of birth,
His creation tells his story;
Above all, let's respect nature,
It's God's gift, a divine structure.
With faith His love we understand,
In need if we but seek His hand,
The heavens declare His glory,
His creation tells His story;
Above all, let's respect nature,
It's God's gift, a divine structure.
Contest Theme: 'Respect' by Dr. Ram Mehta.
Form: Sonnetina Rispetto
Constant pounding of the Bullmastiff's tail.
I know you are approaching.
You wont speak, I don't expect it. You bring the mail.
The summer's heat is encroaching.
You being here is a comforting thought.
I've been restless waiting for you to appear.
You don't come as often as I feel you ought.
The days are longer now, more to fear.
Oppressive temperatures, I sit near a fan.
Just hoping someone will come.
Scribing out poems as best I can.
Closing the blind from the blistering sun.
I hear you in the kitchen, perhaps making tea.
The dog nudges my door to let itself in. Sits beside my chair.
You haven’t yet said hello to me.
I know you are bringing food that the dog expects me to share.
You will bring the food in soon and tell the news of the day.
You will feed the dog with scraps and maybe a bone.
Then you will say goodbye and be on your way.
And again my son you will leave the dog and I to be on our own.

MARRIED AND LONELY

The tapping keys are calling
but in the background buildings
loom - duty's calling
I repose, think
Two for the show and one for the road.
You must go it alone, you must!
You know other things too -
like promises mingling with dust,
like August without summer, that
Requiem for what's dead is only
procrastination -
when life's arms of sunshine
fill you with dread.
Two for the show -
one for the road.
Talk to yourself.
Think and thank about yourselves,
how you have changed into different interests/disinterests over years and decades.
Think about yourselves
at least as generously
as you might best listen and smell and taste,
both digest and nourish,
your own worst Alien Enemy.
What is it that you can see
that you cannot yet perceive
with mutually cooperative compassion?
To live in self-regenerative health,
is to notnot Evil while self-communicating,
to avoid LoseLose metaphysical and physical gaming strategies
through ego-identity self-minimalization,
Empty of FertileTime,
choosing instead to self and other communicate,
observe and be knowingly watched, and co-presently loved,
to hear
and become listened to and known and appreciated as is,
to smell
and sense health
more powerfully than pathology
as positive with negative correlations,
fragrant (0)sum bilateral binomial double-binding frequencies,
taste and become digested by decomposing composts
of fractal-fusing-integrating time,
four seasons of iconic 4DNA/4RNA
Earth-Octave Climate Health Solidarity,
touch yourself
and be touched through all your timeless histories of Elder regenerators.
Talk to yourselves
at least as generously
as you listen most robustly
to past Alien EcoPolitical Climate-Times
belonging rightfully, peacefully, regeneratively, justly
within EarthTribe's Cooperative-Integrative Spaces,
People and OrganicPlaces with names and helpful, rather than condemning, labels,
Frames and Gestalts
and MetaParadigms of Climate ReGenerativity.
Imagine inviting your sacred-secular
polypathic mindbody into this new day
to be filled to overflowing fruition
by Others
sharing your Ego EarthTribe DNA/RNA Interdependent Identity--LeftBrain
with Empty (0) Reverse RightBrain
spiral-octave multiculturally regenerating
4DNA WinWin SacredDynamics,
Primal DiPolar DoubleBinding Dialectal Dimensions;
bicameral ego/economic health v political powering-over pathology,
polypathic ecoconsciousness
talking and listening healthier ecopolitics to yourselves,
past,
co-present,
as future regenerations.
Our multicultural ecopolitical Golden Rule,
treat yourself,
meet yourself,
watch and listen and sniff yourself,
at least as well
as you would
if you were also your own worst economic and politically-overpowering enemies.
Like music is the wife of poetry
The deep is the wife of the sea
Height is the wife of the mountain
Shade is the wife of the tree
Life is the wife of nature
Death the wife of peace
Need the wife of creation
Sleep the wife of dreams
Imagination the wife of what seems
Picture this what I mean
Will you be this wife for me
Picturesque colorful skies
With rainbows and butterflies
Swarms of yellow jacket bees
Fly over the deep blue seas
Mountains of tall greenery
Animals north east south west
Oceans beneath scenery
Nature's beaut at very best

Dusty day departs
Nightfall brings rest;
Home awaits heart
~~~~~~~~~
Weary day retires
Night birds coo Good Night;
Sleep on sweet dreams
~~~~~~~~~
Electric words whiz
Electrons on iPad;
Swirl of feelings
~~~~~~~~~
Silent hours
Rain washing panes;
Streaks of lightning
~~~~~~~~~
Fragrant kitchen
Food on the stove;
Happy meals await
~~~~~~~~~
Jasmine flowers
Scented explorations;
Garden party
~~~~~~~~~
Old tree guards
These ancient grounds;
Final resting place
~~~~~~~~~
Death comes around
Unexpectedly sudden;
Another friend dies
~~~~~~~~~
Crimson sunset
Somewhat different;
Misty drizzle tints
~~~~~~~~~
By this bench
No words separate;
My lover and I content
~~~~~~~~~
Watch the haste
World in a swirl;
Indifferent stillness
~~~~~~~~~
Hot weather ferments
Overripe pineapples;
Sour odours pierce
~~~~~~~~~
Small market stall
The Bisquit Store;
Tons of crackers
~~~~~~~~~
Mobile devices
Cellphones and stuff;
Brisk evolutions
~~~~~~~~~
Talk and chat
Nothing new to add;
Rancid conversations
~~~~~~~~~
Good housekeeping
Sparkling and clean;
Homemaker's pride
~~~~~~~~~

As I sit here beside you,
I can only think of what else I would do
To make you happy, see that smile I love
Show you why I fell in love with you!
I don’t ever need a holiday to tell you I love you
To show you how much I care
I could buy you flowers and chocolates everyday
I wouldn’t ever need time to prepare
I’d know when you’re sad
Know when you’re having a bad day
Call you even when you’re at work
Just to show you I’m here to stay
Through it all I would appreciate you
Give you compliments even when we fight
Kiss you every morning as you wake up
And before we fall asleep each night
I would cry with you
Share the pain so you never feel alone
Would make you proud
Of the fact that we can share a home
We would take turns cooking
Make memories that you would never forget
Share with you my passion
And get through each day with no regrets
Hold you in my arms
In those tough times
And lay beside you
As you cry…
Kiss you and let you know
That everything will be just fine
Because I love you so much
And always have your best interest in mind
Someday when we get old
It will be side by side
Hand in hand
I would make sure in the end that I did my best
To make it a beautiful ride!
Nature’s way is perfect
And once we all connect
We’ll view the brilliance in the airwaves
Essential order now correct
I believe that this will come to pass
Intuition saves the day
We learn our thoughts materialize
And see the power of our ways
Now if this solitary person
Sitting peaceful in the grove
Can see the world ablaze like this
We can all create the love
It just takes ordinary people
Giving credit where it’s due
Focusing their strengths
On what is right and what is true
Like the seagulls in the sky
Give me wings to fly
Over the deep blue seas
Smelling the unpolluted salty air
And emit shrill loud jubilant cries.
Like the seas frenzied dancing
Back and forth as it were doing the cha-cha-cha
Let me move my feet to the rhythm of the waves
Lashing onto the shore once more.
Get lost in a dense forest dressed in green
With streaks of gold highlights peeping through
the trees.
Discovering a graceful waterfall sparkling with a rippling flow.
A stream burbles travelling over rocks and branches, cascading to the floor.
Or climb the highest mountains that wear hoodies
made of white crinkled crepe.
Tall and unmoving like one’s faith
Lifting my mind to greater heights
Unfathomable, and reach the summit of
all that I can perceive.

I love her more,
Nature nurtures me many ways,
I love her more:
Lakes, rivers, air, rain, seas, sun, moon, stars,
Dales, dunes, plains, flora and fauna -
Blessed I am of her bounty,
I love her more!

Adulation beyond compare, exquisite beyond definity
Smooth angles encompass breathtaking visibility
Perfection indeed is natures confident brushstroke
Pristine beauty engulfs all surrounding devote
Sublime pales in comparison to this feat divine
Paradise lost right here on earth's wonderful design
Submerged in hues incomparable to mere man
Stirring softly in midsummers golden hands
What admirable designs of divine intervention
Such gratuitous alms for entireties concession
Sweet surrender in uninhibited space
Sobriety adorned in such natural grace
Voluptious sculptures embodied in natures advent
Oh how divine to inhale such glorious scent
>definity - not an existing word (poetic licence) derived from define/definition
static, skeletal, amidst this landscape
so barren have I become
alone again, naturally
Nobody ever
dreamed to be bad.
But bad boys are
naturally born bad.
The sperm that
produced them is
bad.
It was rotten eggs
that formed them.
They caused great
pain during labour
to their innocent
mothers.
Bad boys are
naturally born bad.
Their society in
which they were born
is an absolute bad
background.
Their is on one holy
in the land.
Everyone is a bad
example
for bad boys to
emulate bad
characters.
Any bean stored in
the mist of bad
beans
must chaose from
good to bad one.
Those who didnt
grew as bad boys
were made bad by
bad boys.
The bad spit into
their eyes
so that they will
blindly
join the train of bad
beings.
The saints that
passed through bad
world
are not naturally
born perfect.
But they submitted
to God who alone is
good
to cleanse away
their bad nature
and give them the
truth,way and life.
Our surrounding is
bad.
Our
air,food,water,clothes
and homes
are also bad
elements
that lead us to be
bad.
Let us embrace God
Almighty
who can preserve us
from being bad
as he did to Blessed
Virgin.
