The cards of life, of many sorts, to each has been dealt.
The honey of bees is sweet, but their stings are also felt.
No one ever promised that life would be fair.
Hopes and plans often become a nightmare.
Drifting dreams seem to float away downstream,
evaporating before your eyes like hot vapors of steam.
But from the massive blast of volcanoes, the lava flows.
The rain falls; hurricanes spin; and the wind blows.
Then, the lava hardens and afterward, islands are born,
upon which a healing and lovely Rain Forest grows.
From life’s excruciating pain, we too, like a Rain Forest,
can grow to become persons most beautiful and dearest.
You and I, like a Rain Forest producing seeds of many sorts are now providing medicines of lasting hope and positive cures

A raindrop falls whence came --back to the sea,
Another, it so haps, on lotus leaf
To shine forth under sun for a while brief,
Yet, every drop gets seldom so lucky
As to get silk beds-- blades of olive grass,
Becoming an early dawn’s pearly dew
To capture unfolding time’s crimson hue.
On dust some get buried in graves en masse,
Some get a cherished trophy if modest--
A scaly trunk aloof that opts to stand
In a barren desert's dry scorching land,
Some fall in rain forest with scores of rest.
All this makes me to muse on destiny:
Is it a chance random that opts to be?
For sure, it is Nature’s celestial dance
That unfolds at random as choice-less chance.

Poet’s note: The sonnet-ending couplet does not end the sonnet, but poses a question and goes on to answer, and in the process stretches the sonnet to sixteen lines.
was a strolling through the heartlands
and you are in the foliage
Woodlands
When I thought of the woodlands
there are the trees never pining
Death shall never come to the maples
and the peonies never foresting
the burr oak brought such sorrow
Tomorrows
Much I marveled the thorn less butterfly bushes
Take thy grassland from out my heartfelt kisses
Woodlands
Tomorrows
Embracing much I marveled those grassy cypress trees
My mind always strays to hedgerows also surrounding me
I saw the forests by the grave
All those host of nest those insects they enslave
Well behaved
and the prairie never soiling
As the arboreal barberry bushes bowling
The woodland wetland waiting
An echo murmured back the word, 'rain-forest!'

Our Love is Fate, like Rain and Rain Forest.
We have met before, yet not in this Life.
Not yet my Dear, but will be my Dearest.
I will hold you in warmth and shed you Light.
You Blessed my Heart with your Beautiful Eyes,
It locked me in the most Beautiful Dream.
My Love for you will never cease to rise,
For Love is a Treasure, for Two Human-Beings.
Now a week long, my Love will depart,
But there is no moment we feel, alone.
For Time, Space, and Fate, Can't hold us apart,
Cause Soulmates are real, I have found my own.
We have Time to see what Time will bring,
In Hopes, You My Queen and I Your True King.
...Dedicated to my Love, 02/14/15...
On a hazy day, in the mid of the jungle
through the dense rain forest, we trek;
Where astounding waterfalls spread smoke
and the various birds sing melodious jingles
Swaying lofty trees filter the sunlight,
cause the shadowy effect inside ;
They do sieve worldly sounds and impure air
and so the serene surreal ambience stays there
The recent rains flattened some tall trees
but equally granted the unique mushrooms;
Though the route is really tough and rough
the fragrance of the fresh rains embrace
Those lush green fungi on the rocks
do try too hard to block our walk;
Rustling the leaves, snakes move to bush,
discerning the scene, the poor rats ambush
Oops, these leaches suck my blood
and my shoes often stuck in the mud;
Our signposts are those largest footprints
of the giant elephants and trails of these tiny ants
Dreamlike journey it is, to meet imaginary animals;
Our target is to encounter those ethereal creatures
that we often hear and see in comics and animation films
but other than those animals we have seen so many things
Lion tailed macaque, Nilgiri tahr,
Great hornbill, Indian Giant squirrels
and the other colorful birds that are rare
look cuter than those unreal creatures
Trancelike travel inside the jungle
make us behold the real beauties;
Finally reached the plain grass land,
where the sun leers amid the blue screen.
The footsteps we trace, not just taken us to the plain
The tranquillity they offer, help us perceive the heaven
It's the great hike that raises our energy levels
It's the toughest trek that weakens our stress devil

For the contest Writing prompt- dreamlike by Constance La France
My favorite wild animal is
as strong as Hulk Hogan
and eats fresh quail.
She is as strong as
Chuck Norris, and Rocky,
and they fly faster than mail.
My favorite animal makes a
hungry cheetah look unnaturally slow.
He conforms into a aerodynamic
teardrop when he hunts below.
My favorite wild animal is
a dark bird of prey,
who makes quick strikes.
When mice and rats
and small birds watch them
carry off their friends,
they yell "Yikes!"
Clocked at 242 mph
they are the fastest
wild animals on earth.
The mama
peregrine falcon
reproduces in litters
of three or four eggs,
30 days until birth.
They are located everywhere
except the rain forest,
New Zealand and the poles.
Hungry foxes would
love to catch these white-faced,
yellow-eyed creatures, but they're too slow.
Peregrine's enemies
are the bald eagles,
great horned owl, and the hawks.
They were eating
carrier pigeons in France,
and lots of Frenchmen squawked.
Their natural color is
black and gray;
they strike so quickly, and on time.
They've been off the
endangered list since
August 25th, 1999.
If you ever see a teardrop
shape dropping toward you
swiftly from the sky,
Check your pockets
for fresh quail.
If it's not there,
you're going to die.

Like a rain dance gone wrong
Been raining so long
The sky is forever crying
But I see the sun keeps on trying
Now and then it will appear
Then comes another tear
The rain forest around me
Watering every tree
Saturating everything I see
Waiting for the sun to show
Hopefully to see a rainbow
Mountain tops covered in fog
Sitting here on this wet log
Enjoying the view
Every day something new
Up so high
Sitting among the clouds in the sky
The rain becomes a wall
It seems it should not have far to fall
To touch the ground
It is like a clapping sound
Soaked to the bone
I sit here alone
This is peace being grown
Again comes the sun
For a moment it won
Ñever to give up trying
Because although the sky is crying
It will survive the tears
Learned over the years
Does not always need to shine
To feel fine
It is always bright
Even when you can't see its light
That's right
I OPENED A DOOR
NOT SURE WHERE I AM.
OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD
I WOULD SAY TROPICAL LAND.
RAIN FOREST MAYBE.
IT'S HUMID AND HOT.
IT'S A LONG LOOK UP
TO THE SOARING TREE TOPS.
LOT'S OF STRANGE SOUNDS
ABOVE AND BELOW.
SOME ARE FAMILIAR
MOST I DON'T KNOW.
I LISTEN AND VIEW
IN EVERY DIRECTION.
I TAKE IN THE COLORS
AND MANY REFLECTIONS.
I SAW SOMETHING LEAP.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD FLY.
IT WASN'T A BIRD
IT'S A FROG IN THE SKY.
THAT WAS AMAZING.
AT LEAST FIFTY FOOT FLIGHT.
JUST MY OPINION
A THRILL AND DELIGHT.
I SPOTTED SOMETHING
IT'S GREEN LIKE THE LEAVES.
WHAT I SAW NEXT
WAS HARD TO BELIEVE.
A FROG TOOK A LEAP
A SNAKE TOOK A DIVE.
SNATCHED HIS DINNER
I SAW IT LIVE
EMERALD TREE BOA
A BEAUTIFUL GREEN.
THE NOCTURNAL CREATURE
BLENDS INTO THE SCENE
RAINFOREST BEE'S
WERE BUZZING AROUND.
A YOUNG SPIDER MONKEY
WAS AT PLAY ON THE GROUND
BLUE MORPHO BUTTERFLY
FLUTTERING FREE.
ENJOYING LIFE
AS IT SHOULD BE.
A SCARLET MACAW
MADE A DEBUT.
OR SHALL I SAY
WAS JUST PASSING THROUGH
RAINFOREST CREATURES
ABOVE AND BELOW
SOME ARE FAMILIAR
MOST I DON'T KNOW.

I sat with a friend,
discussing overpopulation,
"the worlds not overpopulated"
he stated
"Look around you,
there is still, a lot more land,
there are still places,
with very few people"
Granted that's true,
there are still places with few people
yet the fish have become
depleted from the sea
We cut down fifty eight football fields
of raintree forest, every day,
the seas are depleted,
because people need to eat,
We cut down the rain forest
because people need furniture,
there are only three hundred
Siberian tigers left in the world,
Other animals have a right to life
three, tiger species became extinct
in the twentieth century,
the ozone layer is becoming depleted
because of the carbon
that we, as a race create.
granted cows have more stomachs
cows give off more methane gas,
Yet we are by far
are the biggest creator of carbon pollution,
cars, cigarettes and human gas,
go into creating air pollution,
four and a half new babies
are born every second,
yes people have a right
to have a family,
Yet what do you want,
their future to hold,
We depend on nature
but now, nature also depends on us,
The north and south pole
are melting,
fresh water going into the ocean,
could change the chemical balance
Of the sea,
perhaps stopping the Mediterranean rift,
perhaps changing heat transfer,
perhaps changing nature,
we depend on this planet
for our survival,
yet this planet also
depends on us,
We have a brain,
We have the ability,
to overcome these problems,
Together we can achieve the impossible,
United we stand divided we fall
yet if we work against each other
we achieve nothing, using investment,
we can overcome our problems,
We can make cars that run on electricity,
We can decide, to have less children,
Together we can do the impossible,
We have already sent people into space
Yet if we spend our time fighting,
against each idea, we get nowhere,
To overcome a problem
first you must agree you have a problem
Then create a solution, that solves the problem,
Increasing tax and destroying lives does not work
investing together creating change is a solution,
We are the most intelligent animal on the planet
LIFE
Life is a gift
But we have never cared
Destruction of the rain forest
And no animal is spared
Arise great Pro-man
Now raise up your sword
Do not let materialism deceive you
So stick to your word
The petroleum wells will dry up some day
And they will be no money for you to pay with in that way
The gold mines will diminish one day
And there will be no fields for our children to play
Arise Pro-human
Defend mother earth
Do not think of wealth
Or all that you can get
Life is beautiful
So let us be dutiful
As a Good Samaritan
And help your fellow African
Chinese or European
In need
To create a paradise devoid of greed
That is what I call Utopia
Not until we die
When it is all over
We can not let the children suffer
I have seen pain in my old days
The weak rise
And the mighty fall
Armies rise to fight at the clarion call
Only the truth remains
Like a tree that stands tall
In the next millennia where shall we be?
Vanity after vanity
The rest is history
Life is a gift
And love is a blessing
Let us unite this world
And teach a good lesson
