Most Commented Nature Poems (1,977)

Sitting in my deckchair
taking in the warming air
Birds were singing love songs
I wondered then at mans wrongs
No no my thoughts should stay
with nature and trees and not stray
Spring pairings and new babes
Flower's peeping up in new shades
Man does not deserve a thought
He has since his time began, always fought
I should teach him to sit in my deckchair
and take in the warming spring air
Teach him how to buzz like the bees
and bend and sway like the trees
I laugh at thoughts crossing my mind
One day men will learn and be kind
Giving Mother Nature's survival a thought
For shes the one that's struggled and fought
Since the beginning of time, but now needs a hand
Or the earth shall shrivel , turning all to yellow sand

Oceans color diamond blue
Something so
beautiful
Can be so dangerous
too
As I listen to the waves pound against the
shore
I wonder how many stories lie on the oceans
floor
The ocean is like a revolving
door
Many come and many
go
It's sad to think of all the
tragedies
and catastrophes that have happened
here
If we only knew of all the secrets the ocean
holds
So many stories to be
told
Yet this beautiful
Ocean
Can have such a calming
effect
Makes me sit here and
Reflect

Early morning, after first breath of light
Foggy mist drapes, before clouds flight
Wait warmth of sunshine, to lift and give
A spring days filled, with hope to live
Life as you desire, freedom your right
From breaking dawn, to the depth of night

Clear sky of blue and clouds of white
Bathed by sunshine above
Create such a beautiful sight
Instilling feelings of love

Lighting up the greenery below
Of the trees, grasses and plants
Giving them an enchanting glow
Setting the stage for romance

The ripples on the nearby lake
Stirred up by a gentle breeze
Invite the viewer to partake
With feelings of peace and ease

Such samples of Nature's nectar
Are free to each one of us
We are all a part of Nature
and Nature is part of us

somber grey masses
thunder and lightning rolled
quietening the birds

I was born this way, I have never seen the day,
nor the beauty and splendour of all He has made.
No rising sun against the pale blue sky,
no oceans' tide, no mountains high,
no silver moon, gold stars shining bright,
though for me without sight it is always as night,
and so, I can only imagine it's true,
what's been said about this great vast universe and you.
Such wonders to behold which would bring sheer delight
that I would trade all other senses for one moment of sight,
for one chance to see all these things and you His,
greatest creation even my life I would give.

Storm at Sea

The storm gathers strength
air increasing its wavelength
clouds rush as past they scurry
the cold creates a snow flurry

The winds fight as they battle
cold against warm they rattle
out to sea the waves gigantic
as they rush across the Atlantic

Building up into a hurricane
tossing like balsam the plane
the waves below broiling
for war they are spoiling

The ocean their playground
eerie the lights and sound
of the clashing clouds
bodies will fill the shrouds

Before the peace returns
until then the world burns
as nature's anger subsides
and the souls peace abides

In awesome wonder, bemused with naive gaze,
glanced I, upon the garden's flowered sprays,
keen of eye, gathered therein nature's spree,
enhanced by filtered shades majestic nearby tree,
exhibiting splendour by earth's fond woven braid,
Zephyr kissed, where dancing breezes played,
from Dawn's soft light 'til eve's fired close,
weaves coloured sweet, a bouquet of repose,

Blessed quietude, abounds my garden here,
akin to infant innocence, happy smiles spun dear,
each flowered season, here I joyous spend,
ne'er to question, man made why's or when,
cloistered hours, its sacred aura breathing know
humble adoration amid plants that nature sow,
mocks human society, oft course, low and rude,
thus my sanctuary, found amid my garden's solitude;

Oft have I, bathed among its velvet carpet green,
honoured eyes, in silence, its blushing wonders seen,
oft methinks, how brazen lovers would the Oceans tame
with profanities pomp, carve their name
thoughtless, upon the bark of some proud tree,
ply conceited hope, the world their name to see,
like, loose lipped devotion, temporarily to be found,
proud trees longevity, alone the world astound,

With quiet pride, this passioned life I lead,
'tis life's long melody, music played upon each reed,
like as fruits of labour gathered at harvest time,
complimented, by rich the ruby of the vine
where song birds on nearby boughs sit and sing,
preen their plumage and whet there coloured wing,
and all around, where e'er I smiling pass,
ever bonnie, like my remembered Highland Lass,

how life has me allowed, bounteous hours accrue,
time's daily dial, seasoned flowers set anew
blossom thru', both mild and mid-days burning sun,
to pleasure court, the untamed Zodiac's run,
whilst e'er the toil of the industrious bee
computes its hours, guile-less, better far than we,
thus I, with labourous joy, those wholesome hours,
what better sway, than loiter amid my garden flowers.

You baby are the first and last warm thought
on my mind, each and every single day
I want to lie beside you, nuzzle up
real close falling asleep listening
to your gentle heartbeats drum, slowly strum
Rolling doors open, to a princess gem
rare clear cut, one of the finest beauties
Sweet crowning regal, in the heart blossoms
flowering feelings explode, they now start
shining much brighter, in your petals touch


My sunshine satin warm fingers touching
emotions confetti sprinkle ruby
inside fires up, in light of every single one
Silent whispering living echo in a breeze
floating on wings of love, you're the heart and soul gem
Thinking deeply treasure of the deepest ocean
you rock the waves rising then crashing at your feet

As I stared into the emptiness I saw a reflection of us
One of a trillion lights surrounded by darkness
In the midst of its own chaos wondering if its time is next
Relying on a sun that is its beginning and end
Where an asteroid or meteor is an inevitable threat
With unlimited chances something worse could happen
Like two galaxies colliding or a supernova
Devoured by oblivion only known as a black hole
Constantly revolving around life and death
Like the angels and demons fighting inside my head
While her tides are connected to the effects of the moon
I'm in an ocean of tears affected by its mood
But still she stands brave in the middle of infinite nights
And so I am like a moth and am drawn to her light
With all of its scars her beauty is still shining through
And I'm as much a part of her as I am a part of you
But yet selfishly I focussed my thoughts on my own waves
When I should of focussed my heart on the beauty of her face
Because she kept love in my heart when the darkness would come
And a life without love is like an earth without sun
