Best Scampers Poems

one with the music 
a vestibule for magic 
love fills the night air


Let my aura deep red spill onto the page, 
I an instrument in the name of poetic rage,

Seasons Change Places

Thick fog scampers up steep hills in billowing tendrils
Ocean winds sweep in on heavy mists at sunset
Summer shivers as days grow shorter
Skies reflect amber, golden hues of twilight leaves
Autumn approaches.

Spring takes me for a long walk in the park;
with emerald trees
swaying in the breeze.
And I hear the chirps of a meadowlark;
sung to captivate,
and attract a mate.
A bushy-tailed squirrel scampers up a tree;
and then immediately starts scolding me,
and I can't help but smile.

The grass feels...

I start my afternoon hike up a mountain trail.
October’s sunlight, the vestige of Indian Summer,
dapples my exposed skin with welcomed warmth.
Sun’s rays are gilded tendrils cutting through pines
whose needles’ sweet scent
              ...

Sunlight scampers between,
the twigs of naked trees.
And a web of shadows,
dance with each feisty breeze.

A silver sky shimmers,
like cheap carnival glass.
And yet, this fickle Sun's
too weak for blades of grass.

Snow accumulates on
branches that bend and break.
And bow low to the ground
with the weight of each...

Cat door swings open
 
Field mouse scampers in --
 
     Tiny feet warmed...

There you sit...you patiently wait...
thinking of which animal you want to sate...

Observing a fine fox, who favourable flirts...
with sexy green eyes and the shortest of skirts.

She spots a wolf and scampers his way...
asking him coyly, "Do you want to play?"

A teasing Tigress arrives on the...

An Autumn sunrise lights a maple tree
October’s hues are edged with olive green
The vibrant background cheers the season’s glee	
The mountain ridges back the misty scene

Big bears are searching after mountain caves 
While mallards fly before the snow begins
The ridges form astounding leafy waves 
Where folks...

O, sweet silence of Spring,
maple seeds rain down and I am
entranced by music from the trees.
Inhaling the fresh mowed grass,
after the drone of the Cub Cadet
I wake myself with a sneeze.

O, sweet silence of spring.
Squirrel scampers building its nest, 
your winds scatter the dandelion.
Blessed you...

My love wakes in the morning,
While the birds sing soft to hear;
The day springs from night's dreaming,
And summer's feet fling clear.
Life scampers through the meadows,
Daisies bloom beneath her feet;
The streams flow through the woodland,
With songs that are so sweet.
Branches laden with their fruit,
So low a...

Rolling hills and dappling willows

Magnolias bordering each side

A mountain range set the background

Beneath a luxuriant bright blue sky

With wisps and trails of tiny clouds

The bright sunlight it dazzles my eyes

The blades of grass between my toes

These sensations make me realise

That within our minds we can...

Oh, how we watch a town go by!
Pieces of life
wrapped against the elements,
going somewhere,
always going somewhere.
From this upper window,
my eye is a searchlight,
sweeping the streetscape.

I celebrate my stillness
by remaining still,
stiller,
and stiller still,
holding my breath,
stilling my eyes till they sting.
I will my stillness
to fill me, envelop...

piper’s heart is full of joy
he scampers the water with joy
the brook gurgles a woodland greeting

balmy light wind twinkles leaves
they frolic in a lively happy way
the day is light, the minnows are dashing

piper scoops up some cool water and takes a drink
his hands are cold...

Winter Bows to Spring

In the midst of sullen cold
 pink cherry blossoms burst open as winter bows to spring ~
 yellow daffodils spring up from frozen icicles ~
 white snowdrops vault through soils of howling storms ~
 gold jasmina scampers up fences between winter's wildness...
