Premium MemberAutumn Psalm

The air is cold and sharp, a sudden change,
A silver frost is scattered on the lawn,
And all the familiar trees look wild and strange.

The green of summer is entirely gone,
As leaves of amber flutter to the ground,
And greet the coming of a brittle dawn.

A deeper quiet settles all around,
A pause that nature takes before the cold,
Where silence is the only remaining sound.

The autumn stories are waiting to be told,
Of shedding light and preparing for sleep,
A world transformed to copper and to gold.

But within the heart, it’s solid and deep.


Premium MemberSpring Rain and Nature’s Renewal

"Sunshine's rousing cheers echo the day in as clouds move made anew." Quote by poet 

Rain is coming, and the sky is gray.
Staring out the window while nature is waiting
For the welcoming rain this season of May.

The first drops fall, earthly petrichor weighing
In palms, hooking to surface of plants and dry soil.
Like bubbles, falling droplets are captivating.

Stunning with strokes of raindrops enhancing the soil.
Flowers, a vibrant ambience, rousing the day.
Climbing old stones, vines adorn that weave and coil.

Once clouds have purged, air is fresh, and sun rays spray. 
Refreshing rain rests upon the earth's breast; 
Blue jays, red cardinals, and hummingbirds play.

Days chuckle; plump latent seedbeds nest.
While frisky squirrels bound across seeds that rest.

Premium MemberWhere I'd Like To Die

Quote- Let not my ashes spoil the soil, rich in it with thy flesh- Poet

Oh, how the sky looks so gorgeous today
Calico colors in wavy waffled rows 
Of mixed bright white clouds edged in dark grey 

The willow trees sway while a mild wind blow 
And the elks in the pasture munching on green 
Where all kinds of flowers and greenery grow 

A river that zigzags through a narrow ravine 
Has a limestone bottom that hides large rainbow trout 
A picture so perfect for an "Outdoors" magazine 

And the sounds of the songbirds in the forest throughout 
Steer butterfly's and bumble bees all over the sky 
This nature's scenery is like paradise- no doubt 

This stunning a place puts a sheen in my eye 
For this is the place in which I'd like to die

Premium MemberOn Top of the World

Walk with me holding hands in forest green
Breathing in the jasmine wind
Like blue jay’s song soul sings

Psalm that lift hearts to heaven where love mends
Curing cabin fever mountain a fountain free
Flowing glowing where love and nature blend

Together united so peacefully 
Butterflies dotting blue sky 
Living fulfilling wildest dreams gleefully 

Making memories to treasure for life
Keeping us warm even when cold 
On one knee asking to be my wife

For you complete my longing soul
Anywhere you are I want to go

Premium MemberSavagery Sings

The world alone is making me smile
left to marvel at its natural wonder.
Glowing out loud is always in style. 

On a level high above thunder,
I fly on the sunshine in my veins.
My label’s that mach five number.

When caged by what society feigns,
many forget the important things.
If you fumble? Innate wisdom remains. 

Wasted on the fury of wild wings,
 with abandon their savagery sings.


Premium MemberMountain’s Voice

Still as the moonless night, settling on the hills reflecting dawn’s gentle light, softly flowing rustling sighs, music bursting forth, happy thrills beneath rushing winds, gentling dreams, mind-blowing breath of autumn paints the skies in healing hues perfect leaves falling from trees who’ve stopped growing whilst summer whispers to the moon, purple muse soft prayers portray the twilight’s famous stay though the blessings of nature may sometimes bruise laughing rivers wash away morsels of clay reminding souls to listen to hope’s warm voice these mountains are so loyal, they’ll not betray grace has silenced all our fears, given a choice when all is said and done, we need to rejoice

Premium MemberFreckled Finish

Tripped the electricity in the forest,
tumbled to a faceplate on the ground;
The shock raised the pulse in my wrist;

A storybook vision may confound,
star-crossed sits doomed to diminish;
Ground yourself in nature’s mound;

Let yourself revive and replenish,
kiss all the petals of a wildflower;
Renew your freckled faded finish;

Bathe within a rumbling rain-shower,
untamed fuels an aura of power.

Premium MemberPassage of Praise

Persuading October from her quiet lair Shedding the pleasures of life’s fictional realms Mouthwatering plunder, gathering to share Swirling through the silence, round oaks, pines and elms Secrets and shadows reflecting nature’s rush Flames of ginger, shushing dark who overwhelms Sweet dreams are splattered with hope by God’s paintbrush Storm wrecking peace calms souls who reflect this time Much like a coryphée, plied by a wood thrush Closing those moments by the sea, maritime Breathing in crisp air, whispering a prayer Carrot colored leaves twirl in a soothing rhyme Reflections so daring arrive on sun’s glare Lifting the past’s tears with grace beyond compare

Premium MemberSeven Colors Of The Rainbow

Seven colors of the rainbow
Each crowned with a gift
A lifetime gift in each line of the rainbow

The World was once in total darkness without a gift
Beauty of nature the World has never felt or seen
Earth as one world asked for a gift

God of heavens said that beauty can be seen
Until all creatures thought of praying
Praying by kneeling no one has ever seen

Humans are but one product of belief in praying
That all creations must be ruled by superiors of giving
Superiors in human form, striving and praying

All creations harmonized in sharing and giving
Making everything simple, in thinking and surviving
Rainbow as one creation and gift, in seven days of bright light and whole-hearted art of giving.

Premium MemberWaves of Nature

Sitting beneath a tree how I love you,
opening up beneath your warm glows;
I’m triggered by your sea I swim through; 

Every sunrise unique soft wind blows;
Painted prism,a pre-dawn kiss,
I capture your passion in photos;

Time spent experiencing you is precious;
Storms I sleep, take in your fresh air;
Perfection lies in that hit or miss;

Setting fires with eye popping grandeur 
I’m gripped by the wild waves of nature.

Premium MemberPin Oaks In Autumn

Pin oaks unfurl golden flags in September Until they stand starkly naked and proud While the ground is carpeted, I remember, Strong autumn breezes their heads bowed Hovering over the bare limbs quivering Until they stand starkly naked and proud. Soon the forest is prepared for shivering Pin oaks anticipate a woolen blanket of snow, Hovering over the bare limbs quivering. A woodland stripped of greenery, although Mother Nature will replenish her in spring Pin oaks, anticipate a woolen blanket of snow Longingly awaiting warm days reappearing.

Premium MemberUnderneath Glamor and Glitz

Self-expression is dependent upon personality We can only really be who we are deep inside, Some folks by their nature defy conventionality. There are folks who can set inner nature aside And, with strong determination, choose to be Whatever they want to be with enormous pride. I am thinking, specifically, of people in comedy Who are hurting deep inside, but never show it; Perhaps, never realizing it, do not seek a remedy. We can all think of sad, sad cases this shoe fits, It always behooves us to look below the surface What’s going on beneath all the glamor and glitz? I suspect this may lead to some who will deface Others merely wear jeans instead of fancy lace.

Premium MemberSoft Shades of Olive

Soft shades of olive, emerald, and peridot Filter through the early morning gray mists, Greening of spring in my beloved meadow. A stroll through the lea tops my daily lists Some time just for me to inhale the fresh air, The one thing during winter I most missed. Amazingly refreshing to stroll without care Among the wildflowers, along a dense trail, Quiet moments reflecting, no drama or flair. This morning I inadvertently scared up quail, A most invigorating experience, without fail.

Premium MemberAn Egret

I watched an egret on a pond take flight
and hid as best I could against a tree,
not moving, breathless staying out of sight.

Remembering, I close my eyes and see--
the view!  A sweet reward for all my pains,
it flew with whooshing wings right over me!

Today, the tree is gone.  The pond remains.
Sometimes I walk the trail and feel an ache,
to see an egret lest the mem’ry wane.

Much older now, I know the risk I take,
and yet, I come alone before first light
to hear the sounds of nature as it wakes
and maybe watch an egret taking flight.

Premium MemberThe Rugged Trail

I walked today along a winding trail.
The pathway started subtly smooth and flat,
enticing me to take the hike and scale.

I charged the course and started with a scat.
The pathway steepened over rocks and roots
I hastened forward never did I squat.

Instead of walking shoes I needed boots.
A trail so rugged, can make ankles twist.
In rocky terrain there no better routes.

I reached the waterfall and raised my fists.
My mountain trek up Walter’s rugged trail
reminded me that when I face life’s twists,
which sorely threaten my life to derail 
if I persevere, I will never fail.
