Earthy Poems | Examples

An earthy story of nothing much

Ground of being

An oldie

Nullifying 

The separation 

Implied by two

These two words

Being appearing

As solid ground

An earthy story

Of nothing much...

Whispers

Whispers in the outback
It takes a non-tactile
Connection to hear them
At night
Calling from the dark
I go looking
But
Cannot find them
They mock me
The living
One day
Or be it night
You will join us
To peer
Upon the living
To goad them
Their earthly troubles
Their earthy desires
Of these plains
We admire
And wonder
In a world
You seek
But
Cannot find

Earthy Thoughts

Throwing acorns out the window is not reforesting
Leave it to the squirrels

Fertilizing your lawn is not the BEST way to a greener planet.

Recycling has nothing to do with bicycles

A quantum leap is a thought that gets you somewhere

A conundrum is NOT a condom disposal

Asphalt has made the planet incontinent

Sunrise makes pollution seem pretty

Never trust a naked environmentalist
Fig leafs are always in fashion

Wool sweaters make sheep shiver

Do silk worms go fishing?

No Earthy Goal

No earthy goal, so why worry
We live in a dream world
Petty difference, let’s bury
As flag of love’s unfurled 

Feeling here now complete
Suffused with bliss replete
As peaks magnetic heat

Playing life role
No earthy goal

My Earthy Father Joesph Lee

Father, dear Father
Second Father, earthy one
In thanksgivings, I’m thanks giving
Glad you were my dad

A Naval man
An Auto Detailer
A husband spouse
A Father

Father, O’ dear Father
I thank you for always
Co-providing
Always being present

A Veteran
A small gentle man
A married man to one woman

A husband spouse
A Father
Father, dear Father
Second Father, earthy one
In thanksgivings, I’m thanks giving
Glad you were my dad

On this warm September day
I am ever so thank-full this day
Thanksgiving, thanksgivings to you,
  ~you whom was birth on this day
~dedicated verse to my earthly Father

Pure Earthy Flavor

Boiled  potatoes soup,
gluttony sound in the mouth
 pure earthy flavor

The King Reigns

The King there in His beauty,
Without a veil is seen;
It were a well spent journey,
Though deaths lay between.

We have troubles on every hand
The Lamb with His powerful army
On the top of Mt Zion stand,
in the citadel of Immanuel's glory.

The elders' praise is reminiscent. 
of the universe in rapturous praise 
the king regal and resplendent
upon him the world fixes their gaze.

Conclusion which is of the future
And he shall reign forever.

Return To the Stars

If we remember to look at horizon and sky
The Universe draws us higher, whispers a reply
We all are stardust yet somehow so earthy
Humans eschew solid troughs, for color & crest (the showy)

Prayers In the Dark

In the pews, only the mutter of silence 
Escaped out into the streets and town.
And slowly floats away into the distance.
Choosing to bear the ill tidings of disillusion.

Saints wear a mask to cover their frown.
The promises sermons made were recalled.
In them are the seeds of righteousness sown.
Eternity found after all the breath has faded. 

In church pews, they are not allowed to sing. 
Only pierce each breath with icy cold prayer. 
And have the apocalypse fast approaching. 
With the power to overcome the darkest hour. 

Earthy realms enter inevitable capitulation.  
In water graves unprepared to capsize. 
Lost all the desires and all the recognition.
And the things we might desperately miss.  

They leave a shadow stain with a colder sting. 
And made prayers in the dark give comfort.
Looking back on memories to last spring 
We dream now of what the season brought.

That global pandemic changed everything.
Filled the air as the world enters lockdown. 
With our minds still floating around the rim
Our hopes and dreams came tumbling down.

Earthy Glow

After summer her temperature falls
Blending in an earthy hue
Leaves change their colour
With the help of a swaying cue.

Mother’s natures earthy colours
Orange, Brown, Red and Yellow
Silently falling to the ground
Returning to her lap, without a sound

Her map now covered with a glow
To keep you warm before the snow
The knowledge and wisdom of mother earth
Engulfs me, I enjoy that to the core.

Being,-Getting Down To Earth

Earth is a prop, a stage,
a place to grow-(your craft)?
nourishing, protecting, acting
like a sentient being.
It's shows-Showing in poetic artistry, 
that giving a little soul to a speck of dust is a projective, directive of starshine's collective.
To be as a rock- of the divine.
A wholesome, natural, ground, devoted Tabernacle or home-dwelling, grounded
to the notion that circum-navigation is injected into your lines.
In the part you are showing,
to a full house.
Motivation? Cohesion, seasoned
light, action, time!

Earthy Tones--

I hear the wind-blown trees;
I see the breeze as I hear the rustlings of the leaves;
I see the grass is green;
I hear the crickets rubbing their legs;
Whom am I to say?
Peace be still
What is the colors that instill?
Is it because of sin we have 4 seasons;
What’s the reasons?
Winter vegetation’s die, WHY?
Earthly tone
I hear the ripples of the streams, lakes and the oceans;
I hear the children playing in the fields;
Why? Won’t they stop and play with me;
Whom am I to say?
Peace be still
What is the colors that instill?
Is it because of sin we have 4 seasons;
What’s the reasons?
Winter vegetation’s die, WHY?
Earthly tone
I hear the world move, am I all alone
Witnessing the earthly tones

Earthy Hills

Dressed by sky and ground
poetic timeless hills
earthy seasonal colours

rough grasses, bilberry - textures of ling 
appropriate scenery, daily found
day-wear evening-wear, everything

Knarly living, the hardy survive
Rowan, Scots Pine, Birch, green scattered stars
no frills just hills, majestic and alive

Earthy Love

We danced like dappled light through swaying trees
our golden embers stoked by panting breeze
in bed of canterbury red and phlox.
As lusty wooing coos did float through morn 
love sounds of seventh heaven Sol did scorn;
with scents and flames of burning equinox,
our passion dimmed the jealous sun with ease.

*red canterbury bells* - symbolizes deep romantic love, passion
*phlox* - Latin from Greek: flame; a plant of glowing color

Of the Earth - Earthy

Of the Earth - Earthy


Of the earth….”earthy”
Hell, he was filthy,
a veritable organic “Pig Pen”
complete with dust trail.
The trees “high fived” him
as he walked, quietly,
respectfully, among them.
Forest ruminants contemplated
his simplicity, predators
welcomed his scent,
the earth rejoiced
at his footfalls.
