Premium MemberThe Moon Rides On

I see the moon riding with its reddish-golden tinge.
I see the moon riding as lives here die and begin.
It has no fanfare, no blazing gas, no rings.
It just reminds us that we’re mortal short lived beings.

It pulls back the oceans and commands the seas. It arcs, it wanes, it waxes—showing wonder to us, sea creatures, birds and other animals without wings.

I see the moon riding through the night, and sometimes through the day, reminding us that its silent power touches every earthly thing.

A LAKESIDE VIEW

Crabs crawling the shore,
Fish flip flopping the water;
Smiling crocks, resting.

Premium MemberWhen I met the Animals

in my backyard,
where they came looking for me 

The orangutang surveyed the property
from the top of the garden shed

The jaguar looked bored
on the trampoline

The snow leopard walked
figure eights around
the potted tomatoes 

The kangaroo kicked a dingo
and I had to referee  

The albatross wasn't keen on company,
so he danced through the sky 
as if swinging by strings

The anaconda had already eaten
so, he slept beneath the magnolia tree

The giraffe was less than thrilled
with the greens
growing in Greensboro, 
so he scanned the horizon 
for something better

I listened to the unexotic 
Northern Mockingbirds
in the grey branches
and was happy

Premium MemberMother Nature's Football Game

I heard Mother Nature say,
"Let's play football today".
Plants versus animals - the teams were picked. 
Would the flora all be licked?
The thunder and lightning of the crowd
cheered them on, sounding loud. 
While the fauna moved the ball, 
barking out every call,
the flora didn't make a sound...
yet they held their ground. 
Unnoticed, there among us, 
stood the unseen fungus.

Premium MemberArt of Living

How to find the art of living,
how to find the art of love
To find the very art of harmony
circulating from above

Native trees shrubs and tussocks
growing down along the creek
Birds, wallabies, frogs, echidnas,
that's the kind of life I seek

Planting seeds in the garden,
building a wooden fence
It's the nature that surrounds me,
that really makes so much sense

Lying on my back in the sunshine,
watching fluffy clouds go by
Sometimes a wedge tailed  eagle 
glides across a clear blue sky 

Running on the grass bare feet
naked in the warm moist breeze
Exhilaration fills the body,
with so much delighted ease

Found the very art of living,
found the very art of love
Found the very art of harmony 
circulating from above

Premium MemberA GRACEFUL WINTER DAY!

A GRACEFUL WINTER DAY!

Looked out the window:
Birds and squirrels everywhere;
Fun, grass-partying:
Dropped brown leaves just lying there;
A confused dog stands watching:-

How entertaining
Nature can be in winter;
Overviewing life:
Canvassing, tribulations 
Can, and will be, overcome:-

After having tea,
Peeped through the window again;
All animals gone:
Leaving behind a quiet,
Beautiful bright winter day:-

Premium MemberANTS EDGING LIFE

ANTS EDGING LIFE   

Ants quickly crawling,
An anteater chasing them;
Mountain edge ahead:-

Premium MemberSASSAFRAS IN FALL

woodlands wait by the edge
where sassafras' three-lobed foliage flares up
like mittens in striking papaya and gold
tiger butterflies, squirrels, and birds flock
beguiled by the pendulous clusters of berries

Premium MemberA BUSY DAY IN NATURE


A BUSY DAY IN NATURE

Spiders building webs…
Maggots metamorphosing…
Free flies flip flopping…

Premium MemberMother's Nature Forest

In a forest seen 
A beautiful scene
Of the tall  trees spread
Lots of greenery
Spread for the creatures

The forest is their home
For the birds to dwell 
The squirrels live here to
So does other animals
Live in the forest

The forest has beauty
With running water
The forest gives them
The shelter they need
By Mother nature

Premium MemberSpiritual Nature Summer Wedlock

Summertime nature gracefully flourish
Animals arrange marriages; nourish,
Arranged at fun Disneyland
By preacher Giraffe Parkland
Merge, self-discovery over-flourish.

Premium MemberDumpster Fire

Temperature dropped, slippery ice road.
Many animals partying had slowed.
Dumpster fire started to warm,
All stayed close before the storm.
Steadily came again, it snowed and snowed.

Premium MemberI Love Animals

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened"
 by Anatole France

Animals: all the various kinds
every shape or color I'd choose
I'd love them all, not one left behind
in my longed-for garden's earthy hues
And, for each one, a home with nice views.

In my garden, two squirrels you'd find
for each needs a friend that looks the same.
Cows, lookiing so sweet, you know they're kind
and, of course, only those that are tame
Thus, no lioness with tousled mane.

Rock Island hens, and the birds in flight
a chorus of songs from those that sing,
Bunnies, puppies, kittens, black or white.
To all creatures, this wish I would bring
a warm home, safe far from winter's sting.

Premium MemberAnimals Continued

Prancing in laughs the menagerie,
all the animals stop by a tree;
No longer in a cage 
gone are masks full of rage;
They jump with balloons delightfully.
