Most Commented Nature Poems (1,977)

The axe whacks,
The saw cuts,
The trees bleed green blood,
The "Timber!" call,
Trees fall,
The earth sings the saddest song,
The ground feels the dying roots,
When will we see the awful truth,
Corporations make a dollar or two,
Deforestation is killing the world...

Flowers!

Lovely flowers

Nature's gift to mankind

Enchanting us with their beauty

Flowers!

green plants and grasses

a message of life and hope

in a desert land

coyote runs wild
across fields of verdant green
a sly cunning thief

Restless lake you’ve become all blue and grey
Crashing waves now crust on your icy screes
Hear the winter winds come howling away
When cold drops below tolerable degrees

Faced with mighty hunger a gull awaits
Motionless and crouched in its ruffled plume
Ever searching eyes scanning sharp with fate
Shimmering morsels with scales to consume

My thoughts drift slowly away like the snow
Swirl lightly like dancing feathers or leaves
All around me cast an eerie shadow grow
Anything my mind perceives or believes

Quiet the days in dusky December
Mirrored into my mind shall remember

Autumn dances of playful colors bend and spread
As the blustery winds blow through my head
Royal transformations of rich hues in many shades
Precious awe filled moments in time before it fades

The season of my birth brings such joy to heart
The oaks, maples and sumacs become my escort
As mistress moon begins to out distance eternal sun
In secret depth of night for me love has begun

Days that seemed to linger in summer’s warmth
Now shorten patiently awaiting winters long bath
Before the chill of cold white snow begins to appear
Playful Autumn days become lively, crisp and clear

Our loving Mother Earth will put her children to sleep
While the Autumn son gently persuades slumber deep
Told through the stories that teach wisdom traditions
Separating night and day in colorful definitions

Legend of the Bear, and maiden corn goddess
Tell of spilled blood reds upon green and yellows
Whisper soft comforting breaths of final hushed solace
Sweetly filling the air like sounds played upon cellos

Ancient mystical folklore tells Autumn’s story of change
Star in Libra signifying balance ‘twixt light and darkness
Sharing a harvest of love’s tender feelings to arrange
A recital of beautiful colors before an undressed caress

Autumn season beguiles us into these pure mystical places
Trees shed their clothing standing as naked tall timber
While arms of falling colors reach down with long embraces
Heralding long nights of loving making warm and tender

silence is footprint
of leaf shorn from branch
before the winter

Moon you serenade me nightly
casting your beaming silvery rays
touching and filling my weary soul
with awesome magical perfection

Watching you in your various phases
crescent sliver you delight and enchant
yet too your half sends heartfelt shivers
as you wax your way to full glowing light

Moon dear moon you rule my senses
as you wane, the sea's tides join you
making my moods shift with your cycles
your whims commanding earth herself

I serenade and worship your beauty
disliking intensely nights you are cloaked
when clouds hid you from earthly sight
then with a peek you emerge triumphant

And now once more my heart rejoices

Mother Nature is a Forrest wild beautiful deep

Fresh as the snow innocent as a doe

Nurturing the seed that entwined her

Laid bare is her soul

Echoes of love in her footprints

Timeless as the bird that sings

Is her cheek upon a wing of an angel

Dark is her knight

Light is her touch

Timeless beauty deep in the heart and soul.

Mother Nature

Winter is right around the corner
Sunny days are waning into gloom
As the daylight time grows shorter
The flowers start to no longer bloom

September is the beginning of Fall
Shorter days and cool crisp nights
Then the familiar fall bird calls
As they gather for their southern flight

Time to hang out the feeders for those who stay
The hot humid air becomes a cool autumn breeze
As squirrels hide their nuts for a cold winter’s day
Trees start to get their bright coats of colored leaves

Time to say goodby to summer and our visitors
As they leave us for fairer weather
Time to welcome back the faces of winter
Who come with the wind that is so bitter

Blue Jays, Titmice, Morning Doves and Chickadees
Who brighten up the gloomy winter days
Each with their individual personalities
Making one feel more happy and gay
