Nevada Poems - Poems about Nevada

In the forest, where shadows play, An orchestra of life, in the light of day. Leaves whisper secrets in the gentle breeze, Nature's song, among the swaying trees. Lush green meadows, where flowers sway, Painting the landscape in colors gay. Birds in flight, their melodies sung, Nature's beauty, forever young. Mountains tall, touching the sky, Guardians of the land, standing high. Rivers flow, carving their...

I pause to listen to the silence – I am one with the million befores and the afters and at great peace amid the soundless, immense harmonies. I become the rhythm of the spheres and part of that oneness orchestration, both absorbed and apart in a light, too orderly to be but blind chance. There must be purpose to the whole that transcends...

Staying one weekend with my spouse at a casino/ hotel, we enjoy good food and gamble of course. Wasting money at slot machines becomes boring after a while. We traveled far for this? I’m thinking we should have stayed home. May 18, 2020 for Emile Pinet's Diminished Hexaverse Poetry Contest...

The trail along which we now ride Was made by folks with visions bold, A westward moving human tide, Who nurtured dreams of farms or gold. From the promise of day’s first light, Through somber sand and sage, they rode In savage heat and gelid night, Bound for the distant Mother Lode. Their deep grooved ruts are now obscure Along the winding desert track Where...

Grey stone mountains Plastered against the sky Eagle's cry cracks the sun Daylight drips from grey Mosaics of flaming color Aspens and oaks in meadows Grey rainbows of granite Brush strokes down the slope Towering pines, oh evergreen Stained gold with dying light The cool of each shadow Takes a bow to wispy clouds A bluebird calls a sweet tune The heavens are colored...

An all-but-empty Interstate stretches straight, streaking horizon to horizon: it is a ribbon with no bow, wrapping northern Nevada. The eye fixes on absent fences, looks for limits, scans scenery overwhelmed by sky. I cock my thumb to beg a ride; a tear forms at the corner of my eye. "Damn wind!" I mutter, half believing the lie. A dusty pickup rolls toward me then accelerates,...

Would one want to attempt to claim The land atop these mountains? Or just enjoy the view from afar And play in the lakes and fountains? Although some would agree That is not worth the time and patience But who are they to decide one’s fate? They are not your masters or agents Climb that treacherous mountain chain And never look back down the...

Go back to sleep and close your eyes. Dream a dream, you and I, forever lost in time. Staring to the sky, chasing the sun. Remembering beautiful times when our life together first begun. Reaching for your hand, I can feel you near. Dream a dream of colors and you whispering in my ear. Endless days together, highways never end. Peaceful...
