Wake up O Inhabitants of this Earth I of 2
My Poem of 2010 on Poetry Soup "Wake up O Inhabitants of this Earth 1"
was a warning for the world leaders to stop playing with Nature. I am resubmitting it for my Poetry Soup friends of 2025.

Wake up O Inhabitants of this Earth 1

Wake up O, inhabitants of this earth,
The darling children

Natures’ Tune
Natures’ Tune
A path shadowed
with darkened clouds
Even the perky noon
couldn’t reveal its’ paths
Entrapped in a dreaded maze
sealed from the soothing wind
With each distorted step
leading to a saddened end
I mused
staring at the timorous waters
receding away from my feet
Gawking with anxious desire
I watched the twerking wave
quietly caressing the sandy shore

Natures Pride - Choose a Line 3
"Lingering leaves of gold frolic / frolicked in the autumn wind"
Quote by the sponsor
A crisp chill in the air, not being warmed by the sun.
I hear rustling, a sure sign that autumn has begun.
"Lingering leaves of gold frolic / frolicked in the autumn wind"
My love of Autumn and its gold leaves will never

SUNSHINE - MOTHER NATURES GIFT - POTD
Golden rays radiate from above
Energising the world with warmth and love
Illuminating our precious earth
Shining light on its true value and worth
Generating a healthy glow
One that thrives, breeds and grows
Flora and fauna bask in its rays
Grateful for the warmth of summer days
Brightening thoughts ,motivating minds
Creating positivity , negativity left behind
Days viewed in a more positive light

Natures Cruelty
Sitting in the shade of a willow tree
Reading, relaxing, enjoying the day
When, in the corner of my eye, I see
Soft shadows shifting and watch a stoat sway
Not moving a muscle, nerves all on edge
My eyes went searching, covering the ground
And there, in full view, beneath a brown hedge
A lone furry rabbit, helpless to bound
His stance

Natures Song
I love the sound of nature's song.
I wish that i could singalong.
The sun will rise and birds will sing.
And isn't this a gorgeous thing?
That dawn chorus that comes alive.
As birds awake, it's time to thrive.
The buzzing of a honeybee.
As busy as a bee can be.
He's in and out of that busy hive.
Oh, what a time

NATURES FATHOM GATHERING-
Always believing
carousels driven
elvoved from gathering
hibucius industrilized junipers kisses lingering meaningful nightfall omnipresent...
presenting quakes rolling seas tumults undermining
vessels wavering

All-aboard Boarding cruise

Natures Beauty
I lay my body gently
Onto the cradle
Of coated life
Beneath the shadow
Of nature’s giant beauty
Starring upwards
Into the mist
Of living emerald shapes
Dancing in the cool breeze
Peaking through
Her graceful arms
Out towards
The contrasting blue sky
On this lazy summers day
White clouds flirting
With my imagination
I close my eyes
Reflecting on life’s journey
Dreaming
Of what futures fate
Beholds me
Images rolling through
Like an old movie reel
Body

Natures Fling
Tender blooms unfold, petals soft as skin
Orange hues and yellows brighten up the scene
Pure warmth awakens, gentle as a kin
Rays of sunlight dance, and all is made serene
Birds sing sweet melodies, a chorus so fine
Echoing joy, a symphony divine
Fresh as the morning dew, and new as time
Hope eternal springs, a season sublime
Green shoots burst forth,

Natures’ chorus
Cardinals and nuthatches
Sing in the morning
Serendipitously in unison
Unhinged with no warning
A motionless conductor
As I sit in my space
Melodies arrive equivocally
Put a smile on my face
Gods garden of glory
So much noise to take in
I close my eyes with pleasure
As the crow starts to sing
And the hawk up so

Natures Church
Nature opens
The sun shines through
Making a natural church
A place to pray
Thanking God
For the world’s beauty

Natures Delight
The smell of pine trees.
The sounds of butterflies and bees.
The blue sky seems closer today.
I see a kite start to sway.
Happiness is not about momentum.
This fast pace needs to be undone.
When I go to sleep at night.
I release everything that is trite.
I left the window open last night.
To enjoy nature’s delight!

Natures Scene
Whispers in breeze
Nature's soft tease
Harmony's keys
Moonlight's soft gleam
Whispers moonbeam
Nighttime sweet dreams
Nature serene
Stars twinkle routine
Nature speaks between
Night's embrace obscene
Moonlight paints sweet scenes
Dreams dance in moons beams

Natures call struck
In the cold abyss,
we beseech that we
may not wither in and
from our purchase.
Even though we do not
expedite ourselves and
flow in life's narrow progression.
There's no certainty to existence.
just when you come out of that
penurious life, residing up to the
dreams, unnatural nature whispers
your end in an ending
