soft as a butterfly’s kiss
invisible as a dragonfly’s wings
busy as the whirr of the honey bee
tasty as a honeysuckle trumpet
familiar as the mourning dove’s song
lazy as ol’ Mud Creek flows
comfortable as well-worn slippers
happy as an angel in flight
comforting as lullaby lows
secretive as Geisha fans
polka-dotted as dark crystal skies
clouds mimicking monotone artists
a color palette as brilliant as Monet

I wondered to watch the eccentric earth, Are you a green globe of the universe, Mighty mountains are your born head from birth, Sun and moon are your eyes says poet in verse.
You wear rivers as ornaments as worth, Forests are controlled by the beloved nurse, Decorate with lakhs of plants, you give mirth, And you have millions fauna of diverse.
Volcanoes are the design of the earth, Are you always changing by the worst curse?, And adjust to human alive like berth, You are not owned to fellow people purse.
Humankind belongs to the mother earth, Save the life of our future universe.

Flora and fauna are in hiding.
No life stirs to do the day's biding.
Feisty dog days are back
in violent attack!
No sign of humid heat subsiding!

faerie fauna sat on her house staring over a hill.
Her company had not arrived, her cousin named Bill.
Where is he? Asked a pink rose. Her voice was shrill.
This shocked faerie fauna, and her caterpillar, Will.
Other flowers began to titter as they watched over the hill.
You are so late Faerie Fauna thought. Where are you Bill?
Her apple pie was cooling fast on the window sill.
He is not coming! Announced the rose, persnickety still.

See within those starry skies,
Beauty of binding vines,
Fluorescent meaning lies,
In its parting petals spouting lies.
A clams soft pink shell,
Glints in thousand little pearls,
They glide gracefully and swell,
Winding around the rivers swirls.
The white serpents eyes are peach,
Tempting, soft but out of reach,
High up in the turquoise trees,
It's flicker preceding a cool breeze.
The glowing fruits are unfamilar,
No beauty is ever similar,
Eating one would erase the river,
As well as the beautigul glimmer.
The grass shall sustain instead,
The roots of the waters might,
It's coming from the river bed,
And will surely set things right.
The peachy glimmer on waters shell,
Relinquishes its glow for now,
Floras torrent said go back to hell,
No calm waters at this hour.
The grass has grown in your head,
No ecosystems full without fauna,
Water fuels both now one is dead,
Powerful serpent still along a
River

I will be very pleasure,
if a world is without war,
Globe has faced two world wars,
resulted in loss of vegetation,
Swiss stayed out of world wars,
Still it has stunning landscapes, I wish to see the world as it is, to enjoy global flora and fauna, You will be surprised to know, the world military expenditure, it is above 2000 billion dollars, And it shattered world economy ,
Bombs scared landscapes,
And tanks flattened mountains, Save our green planet please ,
for the future generations.

Bottle cap in the sand.
forsaken barren beach.
Towel colors once grand
diminished by sun’s bleach.
Tropical paradise
long left barren by man.
Hurricane a surprise,
deserted without plan.
Collapsed plastic beach balls
strewn among the seaweeds.
Once bright the eye recalls,
but now the sight recedes.
Hibiscus trees deflexed,
entwined with pale, pinched palms.
Verdant life springs forth vexed.
The damaged, begging alms.
Flora and fauna rise;
slow repristination.
Beach in rousing reprise,
resplendent salvation.
Utopia restored;
Nature’s tacit accord.

A bunch of birds were pecking
On some pizza they had found,
Which someone had abandoned
And discarded on the ground.
A few blocks later was a mouse
Which scurried to and fro,
Apparently in search of
Someplace warm where it could go.
I also saw some squirrels
Perched upon a river rail,
Where a guy was tossing breadcrumbs,
Like each morning, without fail.
If you add in all the pigeons
And the squirrels that I pass,
Plus the dogs who do their business
On the sidewalks and the grass
You will have a clearer picture
Of the fauna of New Yawk
And their noises, from near silence
To a chirp, a bark or squawk.

stealthily hiding behind gray white mists
wispy smoke rising heavenward in twists
within caldera red hot lava boils
menacing flora, fauna and topsoils
beware if ground beneath feet starts to quake
creating distance the best choice to make
don't count on Planet Earth being your friend
always has potential to bring our end
please try not to take it personally
planets must do what comes naturally
do not expect any introduction
even for events of mass destruction
universe does what universes do
adapting to the results falls on you

sky glow glorious
splendour leaves waltz in ultimate
bliss breeze kissing
flowers emanate saffron scent
unworldly fragrance bestowed

As you can see I am very big,...
One of the biggest forests in the world.
I belong to a major league
Of chief forests of the veld.
I pack, daily, tons of oxygen
Which I release to the atmosphere.
That gas, along with nitrogen,
Needs replenishment as part of air.
In here you can pick things to eat right away
But most of my gifts to the world
Are not visible day to day
Though by them life's pillars are held.
I have mentioned world oxygen.
There are also pulp and paper,
Many ingredients used in medicine
As well as your flora and fauna!
We are called the lungs of the planet,
And as such we should be respected;
But we are facing the worst challenge yet:
By men's schemes we're being decimated!
What is most loathsome of all
Is when men use us in their wars.
They detonate and fire their wherewithal
And leave bad memories and scars!
Go and warn your fellow men
That original features like us
Have been ever here since Eden
And tampering with us is dangerous!

Splendid charm of morn
Abound in flora and fauna

Beautiful blue buddleia
brimming with bejeweled butterflies
which flutter frequently from branch to branch
Fabulous freesias
sensationally scented
perfumed perfection
Ruby red rambling roses
dainty daffodils and jaunty jonquils
colourful crocus and charming celandines
blooms bring breathtaking beauty
glorifying Gertrude’s garden
horticultural heaven!
