Best Puffballs Poems

They stand tall with their yellow coat,
Before they send their saintly seeds afloat…
Spiritual soldiers in silence softly set sail,
Through fields of dreams with a tenuous trail.

Dancing and drifting until the wind has gone,
Bringers of wishes decorating the dawn...
Panoramic puffballs pollinating the view,
Under heavenly skies of...

Tree Art-God's Design

Many puffballs clusters cling to tree
making one want to take a picture
to capture the beauty of God's 
handicraft of perfect design...

I lose myself by the placid pond
brimming with yellow and iridescent fowl!
Are they held together by filial bond
in that enchanting man-made bowl?

Amorous duo in a trance profound
drift complacently in love's slow ebb
One of them turning its neck full around 
to watch the mate following the...

Fledglings
downy puffballs
of yellow-white feathers
sporting beaks of orange-yellow
discover the joy of liquid raindrops
cascading down from trees to leaves
mastering their art fast
precious offspring
fledglings

Patches of silv'ry dew on young green grass
Catch me smiling back as I do pass;
Catch me, too, do leafy tweets I hear---
Little tings of May that treat my ear.

Day has come up perfect, winds are mild;
Scattered clouds like puffballs pop on by.
Sunlight glances 'round---a wond'ring...

you know him if you live in a warm climate---
he doesn’t stick out because in a warm climate,
many choose to don shorts & sandals,
sometimes they even go shirtless 
when the heat calls for the stripping of the layers---
and in such places,
he doesn’t stick out like...

Chester CatMaster, a nature wizard,
cast a few spells upon some lazy lizards;
chanting “Meow-chi-nik-de-nook-do-kangi”,
he turned them into various fungi.

There were Buttons and ake,
Puffballs, Polypores and maitake;
Hedgehog, Earpiks and Penny Buns,
Old Chester was having so much fun.

Chester had given them legs of their own,
around and around him,...

another today

I will fill my hours
chock full of silliness.
paint my face
clown red with big 
peering eyes that 
see all that is serious
making me delirious.

I walk into the 
forest as far as I am able,
my lunch in 
a large coffee can.
munch on may apples
and wild strawberries
leeks...

Catapulting puffballs roam
vast stretches of ocean;
skeletal limbs reveal
stories lost to time;
rooted sage
taking in the salty air;
lungs filled to capacity,
give birth to
tenderness beneath
heaven’s breast;
life does not end,
it only renews.

Puffballs ring the forest evergreens;
In the peripheral they dance;
Flickering energy lights
Bobbing magic specters
Woodland fairies work
Their magic with
Delightful
Mystic
Ease.

In an Elysian wood,
flitting faeries
among the trees
ponder their
magical seeding,
for a fairy ring
they’ll build,
within the greenwoods
emerald sea.

Moss-laden ferns
feathery light,
help feed faerie magic
late at night growing fungi,
puffballs round,
a faerie ring,
inedible magic.

A countryside walk gives me such delight
yellow dandelions grow in the field
Soon they will transform, changing to pure white
soft puffballs, where minute seeds are concealed -
to a gentle breeze all these seeds will yield 

Tiny seeds hang on to white parachutes,
with mother nature they are...
