Best Subtle Poems

Listen to the subtle sounds
that surround Mother Nature.
Hear a bubbling brook chuckle
as it gurgles over rocks.

Hear the drone of hummingbirds
or the songs of humpback whales.
And the sonic squeaks and clicks
exchanged by chatty dolphins.

Hear a cicada compete
with the chirp of a cricket.
And the wailing winds whistle
within...

Silent snow steals onto the scene
  Falling softly... sensual, serene 

Pianissimo's subtle symphony plays
  Sensibility's song stirs ~ souls sway...

I sat to write of subtle things
The sun, the gentle warm it brings
To melt the ice on dormant springs
Awakening the bug that stings

Then came thoughts a bit more harsh
Large snapping turtles in the marsh
Bug-eyed pike with teeth so sharp
Chasing dragonflies at dark

A soothing hum that...

My best recall is that I saw her for the first time at a Starbucks store several weeks ago. Approaching the door with two large bags, she hesitated and   seemed puzzled. I suspected she knew that she was welcomed to enter, but the...

octobre slinks forth
        relinquishing heat-scorched earth ~
                salacious summer

enflamed leaves embracing
        dalliance with wilder winds ~

On the canvas of life, your signature lies,
Etched onto my granite heart, and the ever-changing skies.
Your essence, turned my primary colours, to vibrant schemes,
And now, in every hue I see that it’s you tinting my dreams.

You recoloured my world, breathed life into grey,
Transformed rigid contours...

Spring

Took me

By surprise

Redbud blossoms

Doves coo early on

More species come to feed

Somehow  spring has  subtly  sprung

Sunbeam shakes her yellow hair down

Angled    'pon    violet    covered    lawn

Winter locked up the buds, spring held...

Subtle smell, linked to a knowing
Each fragrance is unique
Our awareness slowly blooming
Although we do not seek

How still is our stillness 
If not one with oneness 
Unified consciousness

 Life is a subtle loop with a sudden ending
 Breathe in the night as darkness will fade

Keep in mind that knowledge is only inside
Intelligence is beyond what you...

If I could would I
See a ME in a subtle 
Mirror try

Not successful by
Trying to look the
Reflection in the eye

If I would could I
Stir an abyss at the
End of try

And Make an inference
Different like, a subtle
Mirror cry...

Subtle waves
lapping the silence
of my heart....
