We Are Plants
We are spring plants
Stretching towards the sunlight,
There is no excuse for "I can't"s
If we strive and don't lose sight
We will bloom and produce fruit
As long as the summer season permits,
If we work with an earnest pursuit
In autumn we can harvest the benefits.

Hello New World!
As I continue to deep in myself with poetry
I discover a new language, foreign
Almost like unscrambling the word pattern
Using a mixture of ingredients to describe a pride
Finding early 2000 websites to create a blog
Showing people my words anonymously.
Hello new world! Please welcome me with such care.

The Plants Cut,I Don't Know
THE PLANT CUT,I DON'T KNOW
Oh! how I worry about them
I don't know whose name
The plants red and yellow
Whose pain I hardly swallow.
What means of that Britishian
But geninuely I like as vegetation,
I'm hurt they were ut rudely
Only for this that are toxicly
With long horn,but I swear
One day the all cut,cause faults bear.

Along with the thunder
As the smiles in the cloud brighten,
a cloudburst of joy
sends gentle kisses on our rooftops,
pouring down clouded tears—
bottled-up emotions
to quench the thirsts of
humans, plants, animals... and phantoms.
The trees—
with feet rooted deep in earth—
stood humble as a worm.
The birds~

Monarch and Mulberry
the Metamorphoses blamed it
for the death of lovers
who met under its branches for suicide
the Old Testament believes
blood from its fruit
triggered war elephants
to do battle against Jews
wings peppered with color
fold together when at rest
ancient artists who became inspired
made them immortal in stone
insecta we share with flowers
now praying to be left alone

My Grandmother's Pot Plants
Against the side fence,
four long planks of wood
ascended like steps supported
on pillars of old red bricks
serving as a stand
for my Grandmother's collection
of potted plants.
Cuttings from exotic species gifted
by friends, passed down family heirlooms
harboring memories of past lives,
feathery ferns and plump bellied cacti
battled South Australian
frosty winters and the baking heat
of a

I Am Thankful For
Being alive to see the next day
Allows for people to look my way
They see a soul with gall and sway
But there are a few things I'd like to say
My viewpoint on life is somewhat unusual
I look to the ground for an explanation of the usual
A wish to understand the growing of the land
And lend my

Only The Plants
An animal in search of a suitable zoo
Learned to speak, read and write
A man in search of a dream
Successfully lost his ability to think
A robot in search of a sense of humour
Imagined himself to be human
And burst out laughing for the first time
Only the plants weren't looking for anything
Taking life as it comes
Dying

My dance with plants
My dance with plants
In the quiet chambers of my beating heart,
A tale of resilience unfolds,
a life torn apart.
See I,
my friend,
Am the longest survivor,
A warrior against shadows,
A flame that burns brighter.
Cancer,
That insidious thief of days,
Crept into my veins,
seeking to erase.
But i stood firm,
faced the tempest’s wrath,
And in the darkest nights,
I found my path.
Chemotherapy,

Tame Teal Tongue
Tears slide down from ebony eyes
Burgundy broken heart burnt fried
Wounded by words like stones that fly
Stunting self esteem killing pink pride
You speak kindly to strangers though
You even greet plants finely and they grow
Yet you blindly hurt the ancestors soul
With your desire to let the truth be told
It’s not what you say but how you do
Everyone

Big fangs
Strong claws
Sharp hooves
Men's guns
Instruments of species survival
Let's hope for a vegan revival.

GARDEN PLANTS
The fern spreads out to form a perfect fan,
A pleasing show with pristine symmetry.
Proud fronds with discipline, a splendid sight
And offspring fiddleheads are unfurling.
On verticals the ivy clings and climes
To form a confusion of fresh foliage.
With lower leaves vying for vital light.
Chaotic show of ivy anarchy.
Two digitalis stems stand straight and

Awakening to the Red Road: An Ecopoetic Odyssey 'Part 4 of 6'

Teach your children the ethos of
the rampart-
of the earth under their feet.
Is it more than just soil? It's heaven —
The Chosen Hallowed Retreat
Where we connect
For you must see life as fully rich with
the resounding vibrations of our
