Our lusty voice was in the tramp of narrow, winding,

Ravens, uttering guttural croaks, slow-wheeling above

All that does encompass bespeaks wonder in everything
bubbling brooks and waterfalls does your glory ring
terrestrial and celestial ever fill our eyes with seeing
how can not it's splendor not fill our very being
raindrops in waters...

Arthritis is slowing him...

BIRD WATCHERS!
I’m sure you’ve sen them out in nature…with their binoculars glued to their eyes….

They often dress alike…they flock together…filled with a shared one-love…
For years I...

I Will Watch the Sunrise and the Moon Set
I will watch the sunrise and the moon set
I will taste oysters and reap mint

I will live as an orphan adopted
finding joy in rain and in snow

Song of the Evening
SONG OF THE EVENING
In a lullaby song of the evening.
In the background a cricket sings,
corellas fly past, to their resting tree
high upon silhouette wings.
Red sky widens and covers the west
with half sun glowing and...

Bird Twitchers

with a a ledger; glasses; camera, and books,
spend hours with patience in salt bush or long grass,
in hope there’s a moment, one cannot let pass.

The Tortoise and the Geese
The lake was then dry, not even dank,
The tortoise himself had grown lank.
The fox had departed the field,
Since the scorching sun was no shield.
The geese, like the plovers before,
Voyaged to some hills of galore.
Tortoise who...

From My Diary: Nature
Santa Barbara, Summer 2017
Monday
I walked on the bluffs above the sea.
Orange poppies bloom in the dunes.
I discovered
the labyrinth:
smooth stones spell the path.
Peaceful pilgrimage.
Tuesday
Walked on the beach and smelled:
Tar from the oil seeps,
fennel,
coastal sage,
eucalyptus.
And, of course,...

Whispers of the Shore
Written: June 24, 2023
______________________________________________________________
Soft waves embrace the clean seashore.
Caressing the sands we once walked before.
Leaving footprints imprinted on the land,
A memory crafted by nature's loving hand
The shore, a canvas of dreams,
Where sand castles stand tall,...

Early Morning In Walvis Bay
Hand in hand with the breaking pink light of dawn,
A light east breeze dances on tiptoes upon the water’s surface.
I stand on the wooden deck, looking out onto the quiet bay,
Scattered boats gently...

Peak District United Kingdom
Fingers of light pierced the clouds caressing the moors
with life giving warmth, purples, browns and greens of
heathers mingled, blended, in a union of beauty. Yellow
of gorse splashed in the sultry, hazy spectre of natures
superb canvas....

Death Tolls
The atmosphere rings with the bell like calls
of the plover flock, long before they are spotted.
The flight herringbones a grey fedora sky.
Markings of white and coal black weave,
wing-stitched, a blanket maker’s dream.
Sigh makers they close...

I Am Not As Innocent As the Small Bird Who Sits On Her Nest On the Ground
Next to where I work where they make electric cars
Where they used to make gasoline powered cars and trucks
near where groves and groves of orchards once grew
The small birds now nestle their young like penguins

Cairns Edge
The beach gathers its dead. Thousands of horseshoe crabs
come home on the full moon’s tide. Their courting dances,
scrawled with claw and carapace in the wet sand, leave
with the ghost hands of nursing Autumn wave.

At the Pond
I fritter my time away as I sat on a bench.
In front of me was a large pond with an alcove
Where three upside dolphins spout water
To keep the pond full of green filtered liquid.

A Walk In the Woods
The mist hangs low. No panic though,
no cause for distress, just mustard - and cress
adorns the forest floor, no roar, just the soaring
of woodcock, no shock of the dead, just the red
of poppies on...
