Short Grassland Poems

Loud thundering sounds
Come from a herd of horses
Across the grassland...

Swallows fly and swallow flies

Inactive as bears,
sleeping in a remote cave...
dreaming of grassland.

The star runs
away from the moon

It takes a breath 
In the grassland
On the wet soft grass
Then runs along...

Before disappearing dews
Spark like diamonds when sundrenched
sweeping grassland turned to be
More velvety and verdant...

ochre painted sky

   behind grassland silhouettes

  framed by smoke filled clouds

summer showers
upon the grassland
buffalo graze
~~~
dark clouds
on the horizon
lightning strikes
~~~
fresh scent
in the orchards
apples blooming
~~~...

Sweet flux of stream ripples 
stone amulets graze mohs
scale of gold rush hardness
svelte limb fragrant pink clouds 
span azure blue awning 
sedge-warbler’s grassland pine
spellbound spring sibling sighs...

Divergence





Greenery bids adieu to the grassland,
Divergence of opinion,
Cherished togetherness !

Jays
wheel by
in tandem ,
a sky parade
roller coasting above verdant grassland. 

As harbingers of enchanted autumn
birdnotes usher
crisp morning--
red plumes
flung!

african grassland
                           deafening roars of hooves
                                the great migration

Seek a wild Sapodilla tree
with a lonely honeycomb
in the middle of nowhere
take it apart
on the grassland below
and burst it open to pieces
like a surprise gift basket
and make off
like nature pirates
with the sweetness of gold
flowing from its bosom
to which the wild
but gentle bumblebees
seem to care less...

Jaguar is a large cat
    Jumping in the river
     Just because he loves it
         Join animals grassland
     Jacket a work of art
    Jolly protects his wife
  Jungle roaring sound well

Large muscular strong cat
Labeled as king of beasts
Lives in grassland in pride
Lavish mane crown male dons
Lumbers elegantly
Labors hunting in night
Lunges at prey’s neck.

Listen to poem:

Summer Sight Contest
Sponsor: Nayda Ivette Negron


crack of dawn whispers
   willows soaring in the wind
      surges of the sun

fields of sheer romance
   eastern equinox blossoms
      summers scent lingers

grassland for my love
   sweet kisses for the billow
      emerald beauty

ah, cool mountain air, teasing my hair,
     caressing soft the quivering grassland
          much like a mother's reassuring hand;

                    ah, cool mountain air, with gentlest care
                         healing the wounded scars of who I am
                              like a mother's hug, the soul's soothing balm....

vegetation turf
I am just a blade of grass
cut me i will grow

greenery, green lawn
narrow leaves, growing wild sod
cultivated mead

grasslands blades of grass
lawns pasture, as a fodder crop.
field, pasture, meadow

sward, lea growing spring
grassland veld literary 
vegetation turf

Prostitution 

I never liked horses, 
oh yes, they are beautiful 
and dumb
and crap in their food
on the grassland of forever.
Horses are like Romanian women,
you catch them, rape them 
and tamed you sell them 
in Hamburg as tame whores, 
who can be ridden by any man 
for a bit of cash.
And all the owners of horses have
to do is to serve them weed....

One wooden panel
Scraped from its ivory case---
I recall Grandma’s doorway
Leading us to our ranch,
Where young feet mounted wild horses. 

This ancestral home,
Now broken by time’s onslaught
Oh years filled with fresh grassland
Rolling on memories---
While old panel, stands on my hall.

Gracious Grassland Goddess blew in from the east.
Her love for the grasslands never did cease.
She nurtured each individual sliver and slip.
Enjoying the grass nature had in her grip.

Gracious Grassland Goddess loved the bit of wind.
That blew past her cheek, from beginning to end.
Her favorite days were in April and May
When the grasslands were waving all merry and gay....

Rain gently falls on the 
Mountain top, softly
Lightly lands, not ceasing,
Never soaking

Drops draw together 
Finding their way over
Grassland and stones, pushing
Pebbles before

It moves effortlessly down
The mountain, becoming  
A stream, a creek, then a river
Swollen and full

To the distant ocean, 
The gentle Mountain rain 
Collectively, persistently
Finds its way home...

Before  the Roman legions carved a road
This stallion coursed across the chalk ridge brow
Unharnessed, free or by a king bestrode
Like wave traversing grassland free of plough
It still pursues its quest yet even now


Note: This is the oldest of the many white horses carved into chalk hillsides across southern England. It has been dated to The Bronze or Iron ages. (Pre-Roman occupation)...

I imagine a picture
like a poem writer, 
I don't believe how? 
I  see  a  cow, 
Cow is on the grassland, 
Goat is also on the grassland, 
I see birds on the sky, 
who're very far & fly, 
I see Sun rising from the cloud, 
and birds are chirping loud, 
I see the green grass garden, 
& flowers on the green garden, 
Butterfly sitting on the flower, 
for enjoying juice of the flower, 
I imagine a picture
like a poem writer....

They heard the rumble from below
Drinks were spilled; they stopped the show.
The scream was heard, the tension rose
The crowd was still, the music froze.

The lights flickered, a roar was heard
Wild lion appears, then massacred
All the zebras, flailing around
So their stripes were safe and sound

This lion though, was smarter than that
2 weeks he’d been a hungry cat
Such silly follies were no match
To save lives on this grassland patch....
