Come from a herd of horses

Earthly Blankets  

Meadows covered in lilac lilly's;
Daisies entertain the grasslands.

Once
I roamed the grasslands
Free
Once
Full quick alert vital
Free
Nature framed my existence
Now
Your barbed wire is all
I see....

lion
magnetic, powerful
lounging, lulling, studying
Africa, grasslands, barnyard, meadow
prancing, cavorting, playing
delicate, innocence

Under the moonlight,
Sways gracefully the willows,
Hushing dead spirits.
The Babaylan chants a spell,
Moon weeps the loss of a friend....

In the grasslands lay,
Pitiful figure so thin,
Awaits the cold rain.
There washed in mud and droplets,
There, fades to bloom once again....

My meadow seeks tress,
A place to hide me from rain,
A place of comfort.
There all my songs shall be heard,
There, all be sung by lovely birds....

We are now swimming up the Boteti River, we twenty-three
To get to grasslands and savannah woodlands, you see
swimming is fun, sang the zebras, and the eating is free...

blinded by restraints
I tread upon new grasslands
swayed in virgin dew


my world changes hues
greeting positive musings 
with enlightenment

in verdant grasslands
rusted trucks rest, overlooked~
all that is still deer

The city resonates
through the canvas 
of window
Echoes further
through the canvas
of mind
Another day in summer
Music plays
A baby cries
Cars pass
on a stationary day
Dandelions grow
on amenity grasslands 
All is left unsaid...

It's a joyful riot of deep emerald satin,
this morning's monochrome 
of green.

It taints and paints the vast grasslands
that undulate like slowly 
swelling waves,

chasing one another across shimmering
shorelines that kiss the 
distant horizons.

Icy is the breeze
as it flows  over the Tundra
making big snow drifts 

Cheeky monkey waits
until your back is turned
then steals all your fruit

golden ray of sun
blazing paths full of sunlight
warms as it touches

rain teeming downward
flooding the marshy grasslands
beware the bog lands...

I am wild and I am majestic,
My roar is heard in a far off place!
I lay back in rich grasslands,
Camouflaged in my territorial grace.

Sun soaking my dark mane,
My dominance and beauty shine.
Dare to test my strength and courage?
This grand Pride I protect is all mine!

Far away beauty mountain range running wild;
Rolling grasslands harvesting;
Reaping waters floating tarts;
Cool breeze moisten heart;
While below the countryside;
A dirty boy, someone's child;
Plays run along the green hilly mountainside;

If not the clipper in the Saharan grasslands 
Then brother be the zipper to fasten the ethos 
Afrika mourns of today. Lamentation the dry
Ingredient to our sorrows that craft dispare.
Look at how they fattens alike baobab fat yet
I'm proudly a street hustler, bustling trickster 
Thins a biltong shred in toils for sustainance......

They claim my words are rather rude
My ink is refined human sense
My presence will bolster the brood
They claim my words are rather rude
Faults thrive in reed and grasslands dense
Through every gloomy, dampen mood
They claim my words are rather rude
My ink is refined human sense

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

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....

wild autumn

hot ten day heat wave
 hydrangeas wilt in the shade ~
  steamy heat at night

mistrals fan embers
 rises up to spread white fire ~
  dry grasslands shutter

up from churning seas
 hurricane force rain floods plains ~
  cactus bloom too soon

Over the past two weeks we have had a heat wave, seen wildfires start and had Hurricane Kay bring flooding....
