Enjoy The RainThe sky, colored all shades of grey,
blocks out searing rays of sunlight.
And as clouds start cooling the day,
sprinkles bring a welcome delight.
A splashing sound
quenches the ground.
Droplets freckle the dirt with spots,
where the thirsty soil absorbs them.
And drops, drumming on roofs and pots,
frighten the dogs, causing mayhem.
A little rain
can entertain.
Nature loves taking a shower;
for it makes...

NATURAL POETRY
summer peaks are coming
cicadas are singing za, zi zi, zi...!
How many whispers of time,
flower, fire, rain, cold...
earthly dreams in cycles...!
New shoots on the earth,
renewal crying out,
herald birds chirping!
Leaves swirling in the wind,
mushrooms everywhere,
autumn showing off...
Life is full of thorns,
but also full of flowers,
knowing how to live is necessary...!...

Buzz Cut
Sirius is approaching the gate
dragging the hot and humid like bait.
Scorching dog days are back.
A violent attack!
I fear I will burn my shaven pate!

Blooming for the SilentWe bring the dead flowers,
Heavy with sorrow’s weight,
Petals trembling in cold hands,
Blooming just to fade away
Upon a place where no one lives.
Tears fall slow like winter rain,
Nourishing grief buried deep,
Roots tangled in forgotten earth,
Reaching out for a whispered breath.
The wind hums soft a mournful song,
Echoes of lives once bright and near,
Leaves shiver in the quiet...

Her words wrote the justice that we deservedBasking in the sunlight
In a field of flowers
A peaceful look in her
She looks up to the sky
And realises how much she loves life
This is all she wanted
In a world that eradicates through hatred
In this moment She felt grounded
Listening to the sounds of nature
She lost a lot of her...

Year After YearLet the rain fall through the town
From the hills, all around
Watch the flowers grow in sync
They'll stand tall but don't you blink
Then the time of laugh and cheer
Which will never disappear
Fog stays the most of all
Soon after the leaves fall
The chilling age in time is here
With snowfall always near
The year repeats time again
But the...

Forests of Green Coniferous TreesForests of Green Coniferous Trees
Forests of evergreen conifers
(Fir, spruce, cedar, pine, and hemlock trees)
Keep their colour throughout the seasons
And don’t shed foliage in autumn.
Rooted in soil and basking in sunlight,
They grow on hillsides and in valleys,
Encircling rock outcrops, swamps, and leas,
And near rivers and lakes, and on islands.
These hearty trees endure nature’s throes
Of cold, harsh,...

Fungi
I like my fungi
sauteed in butter
in a pan with a chopped clove
of garlic, parsley and plenty
of salt and pepper.
Or sliced and simmered
in chicken stock
with arborio rice
and topped with parmesan
cheese in a creamy
mushroom risotto.
I like the musty,
earthy smell
that some fungi have,
the exquisite delicacy
of the gills,
the soft, spongy feel,
the variety of shapes
and colours that...

Still Growing
raindrops falling
on roots that are unseen,
underneath the silence of stone,
every seed keeps on dreaming green maps—
a forest waits inside a single stem....

Just Loving Life
My wind chimes entertain me as I write
of bright blooms and cool rain,
nearby fields of golden grain,
and life’s joys that never wane.

I Wandered Weightless as a Featherafter “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth
I wandered weightless as a feather,
a muted plume from mourning dove.
A tuft afloat in breezy weather
connected now to skies above;
as long as winds will carry me
from over fields and out to sea.
My glad esprit more free than birds,
detached from mortal...

In Talons Sharp
Beneath the river, creatures swim
Hope's a sliver, their fate is grim
Their fate is grim, hope's a sliver
Creatures swim beneath the river
An eagle's prey in talons so sharp
Predators play upon the scarp
Upon the scarp, predators play
In talons so sharp an eagle's prey
Soaring high above the...
