Nature Poems

Wormwood

There is a place, 
in the middle of nowhere... now. (hushed whisper) 
It is hot and cooking,
and yet...things are green. 
Nature has taken back, 
what man destroyed. 
Maybe not the way it should be, 
but maybe it does not matter,...Read More

A Gogyohka

The wise bird
perched upon the alder branch
all-seeing specter
with 360 degree vision
gathering knowledge.

a twig snap
from the cliff -
bobcat

treetops glint
in the sunlight -
jackrabbit leaps

footpath
between the trees -
hoot owl

All the President's memes;
Rose up into an army of stems;
They grew bold legs to carry them;
Towards the good fight.

Though cavalier and sensing right;
They lacked a head to give foresight;
They strayed into a chasmed height;
And tumbled in.

They spiralled, spinning through an...Read More

Brighter than the stars at night


Nature is colour, the vastness of space, 
The roll of the thunder, the streams gentle waves.
Goodbye fellow being, be gone to the lost.
Cut down by life, we are still counting the cost,
And we may never...Read More

Beautiful world where miracles begin.
World of glory, stunning nature hear her sing.
Rivers flow into oceans, creating life.
The sands hold a million crushed diamonds for us to rest.
Skies are blue and filled with puffs of cotton candy.
Birds surfing on her warm...Read More

Beautiful sunrise,it's a new day
I am blessed again to be alive
It's yet another chance for more opportunities
Struggle once more to overcome the challenges
It's a new day,some did not make it to this day
Who am I not to be grateful?!
To the...Read More

Through them,you get to re-live a moment that once was
They move you from the present to the past
It's just their nature
Some are so nice
Some are just hurtful whenever they come around
Some you might wish you could erase them from your...Read More

Let’s dive into our mind
Look around – perhaps nothing is as it seems
There’s a unique perception
An amalgamation - of what we call me

Like rich fertile soil
Brimming with potentialities
Nature verses nurture
So grow the seeds

The roots grow deep
Manifesting in the subconscious mind
Breaking...Read More

Friendship
Poem

We make great effort and style,

But we don’t make close friends,

Together we play great roles on the stage,

But we don’t make friends, even close ones

That goes on,

We don’t recognize them later in life,

Even though we see them passing by us,

They...Read More

Streams of passion with their ebbs and flows like waters dancing to rivers changing call, my obsessions rise and in time they sleep growing and fading  bringing change to my life.
Directions and pressures guide me through this world and...Read More

If there was no poetry
I would visit ward psychiatry
For poems give energy
Free me from an allergy
When we vent our woes
Wonders wander with us
Nature gives insight much
Only to bounce back such

If there was no poetry
I would visit cemetery
For there I understand...Read More

The sun is out
In full gear
What fun
What a day
Tooting its own horn
Blaring and glaring
How absolutely divine
Delightful and delirious
Playfully parading
Elated and excited
Gorgeously giddy
Joyous and jolly
The sun’s come out to play

When I goggle at the screen
Of wild black yonder,
O Stars! I feel a blazing avidity 
In my vital limbs

Elan eyes of the angels,
Invested in with thousand finesses,
Show your cloudless sparkle to
the ignorant world

The magnetic star adjacent the Moon
to guide the...Read More

In a world
Of blues and greys
Streaked in swirls
Of sunlit shadows
Hints of gold
Tinge a brisk morning air
The cool stillness ruffled
Of a glassy lake
Not a sound it makes to wake
A sleepy drowsy nature
Gearing up to hibernate
All good things come to an end
Indian...Read More

In the midst of the forest deep, 
Within evolving work of art,
Wherein men's green edifice dream does  
Begin natures evensong heart. 

Old timber yielding whilst in still
Hold fast, nestling mistral wind chants, 
Bold aroma of petrichor
Fold upon pulse lands...Read More

I went for a walk today in the forest,
and found nature at her purest;
in a glen I found a heavenly scene.
of flowers, trees, vines all tangled green.

It was so beautiful I thought it was an illusion. 
if I enter...Read More

A flock of Flamingos so pink
Had feathers that made people blink.
They group-danced with heads high
In a Flamenco style.
Ate shrimp, algae, and water to drink.

Author's Note: The type of food affects the color of the feathers.

It will take time
to phase out oil-based 
technology people from 
the oil industry

Could also be used

building desalination 
plants o get water 

Into the mountains
means plenty of work 
for people 
Imagine all the pipelines

you would have to create
Granted if we...Read More

into where i used to live-

blades of willows weeping;
a myriad of butterflies gently

Yes I now hold the memory in my heart
And see the images as I near sleep
Though they are gone they still remain a part
Of my own world, reside in spirit deep
