Long White tailed deer Poems

    and the Earth yearning for autumn's heat.
Darkness gave way to a fractured dawn
    as the Sun rose in the East.
The forest became warm...

Striding into the snowy fortress my tepid heart at double time 
paces
Entering a pine colonnade sprouting a wintry mane, saddled with

Cloaked with icy needles forming a brittle, hooded trellis
Golden beams seap...

There’s a place in the Blue Ridge.
Where the mountain faces Tennessee.
It escapes detection and is accessible
only through childish reverie.

By all children who in their thoughts
and dreams of feelings not forgot.
Their young minds clouded in mystery
of...

As I near the stratosphere, I let loose
an untamed, raw rainbow

I pull on the tattered, worn ropes
of my hand-sewn hot-air balloon across
the hidden boreal quarry hill in the north

they rose above the nose
of a furious...

Deep in our forest woodland,
	where white tailed deer roam free,
I thought to take a moment,
	to listen quietly,
to the whispered sighing,
	of breezes in the trees.
As pleasant a sound as I have ever heard,
	for my senses it...

Yard alive with...

I drive slowly through a winding lane
Where white-tailed deer are often seen
I see, sadly, carcasses of creatures slain.

I am careful driving the fencerows between
Respecting the rights of the critters here
Where white-tailed deer are often seen.

Climbed up on the mountain
Fingers almost touched the sky
Even had to duck my head
As a cloud came tumbling by

Felt I was invincible
Amongst the blue and gray
Maybe God had rested here
On that holy seventh day

I could...

I was walking down a wooded trail.
Sunlight filtered in through the trees.
I came across a weathered fence, post and rail.
The fence held a hive of noisy, busy bees.

I looked across an open field.
There stood a...

An Amazon Adventure
A Narrative Poem by C Russell

Let’s go, let’s go to the Amazon far,
We’ll catch a boat, won’t need a car!

Let’s see, let’s see the wildlife here,

Come out and play, you creatures of the night.
Outside into the woods I want to go
and see a white tailed deer, a sheer delight
to catch sight of a doe in moon’s soft glow.

Sun slowly dipping in a springtime sky;
the wind's blowing and the pine boughs tossing.
From their warm, peaceful beds the meek and shy,
walk down to the river; and the crossing.

To the fields above, and forage a...

The skeleton man is doing chin ups on our fence!
This is said in anger by my cousin, Little Spence.
It doesn’t bother me, I tell him. What is the harm?
He is never polite, he’s rude, and...

poetic trilling of joyful greedy song birds in summer
faded pink male cardinals swoop and flip
running red squirrel flashes tail 

excited white-tailed deer knocks down bird feeder
mushy wet birdseed is now on the ground
bashed in red...

Ocean’s mist creates fog at dawn
Ramble along the beach or take a
Morning hike on a nature trail
Observe the herons, cranes and pelicans
No species are unprotected here
Drop the rifle and pick up a camera

Boars will surprise...

I sing to the night sky
  to worlds near and far
to starlight and moonbeams
  wherever they are

I sing to the vast ocean
  to denizens of the deep
to dolphins who communicate
  and...
