Most Commented Nature Poems (1,977)

angry seas rolling
wave on wave each one larger
swamping the small boat


seagulls circling
harsh cries ring out in the wind
plunging and fighting


sands stretching for miles
seaweed and shells scattered wide
strewn debray everywhere

Alone I sit
staring at the cold grey sky
All around
winter's handiwork
so silent
so beautiful
fills the land

Drifting lazily upwards
pillars of smoke
rise ghost-like
from the chimneys
On the ground below
the freshly fallen snow
so quiet, so fragile
instils deep peace
within my soul

Standing alone in the distance
a church steeple
points majestically towards the sky
in silent testimony
of its God

Nothing stirs -
the sparrows have gone to bed
this cold winter's evening
dreaming pleasant dreams
of tomorrow's spring
when new life will take form
in Nature's world
or perhaps they dream
of yesterday's summer
when they flitted happily
from tree to tree
dancing in the sunshine
so happy to be alive
and free

Yet dream on
my little friends
cold winter must reign
a little while longer
still blessing the earth
with her deep silent beauty
--- as now the snow begins to fall
once more

With my inner spirit I can converse
With the trees and stars of the universe
The conversation draws us very close
In a message of our unity

All of us are children of the same source
That's the ultimate universal force
And we all follow a similar course
In fulfilment of our destiny

beautiful bali
a victim of time
revered for its surf
waves absolutely sublime
many a footprint
did approach it then
but now its a gallop
of who where and when
no laws to abide by
no respect paid in full
just total abuse
and many hospital bill
alcohol and drugs
pervade the night
endless partying
amongst locals plight
they bring in the money
for there cheap good times
but damage the spirit
of an ancient kind
as i sit back and wonder
how development grows
the double edged sword
and the wounds that are sewed
once again man has managed
to overwhelm all
and damage a country
thus dividing all ........

With moon shining bright
casting long silvery shadows
that hide the lovers from sight
as they lay together
by the river in dappled shade

As pink blush, shoots the sky
Creeping through, low to high
Turning the day, towards night
Coating brightness, dimming light

On distant horizon, change occurs
Aware of twilight, the eyes lured
From life below, to changing sky
Mesmerizing colour, a day dies

Sensing vacuum, spiritual peace
Expecting rapid, light decrease
Before street lights, smolder-glow
Dark corners hide, no secrets show

Life in hiding, now dark comes
Daytime is again, on the run
As pinky blush, to crimson red...
deepens, with evening pledge

Soon the moon and stars will fill
The sky with light, that spills
Over a sleeping hidden earth
Recycled strength, towards rebirth

Damp overcast, the chill is real
Could a sun shine, if clouds peel
To expose a sky, of clear blue
Lift winter's grey, to summer hues

Spindles of branches, add to feel
Causing shivers, no sun to heal
Wind driven air, whips with cold
Spirits hollow, as rain acts bold

Seasons give physical, seal to life
Moods change, as a slash of a knife
Time must pass, as heat gains power
Returns-engulfs, turns buds to flowers

Within seasons, life can be renewed
Nourishes-builds, nature's given food
Stirs senses, a gift of earth's love
As from the heavens, sun-shines-above

Sunshine, life's primordial sustainer
Channeling to all, the sun's energy
Plant, animal, insect, fish or other
Without sunshine, not one of them would be

Sunshine can uplift your mood and spirit
When you are feeling gloomy and depressed
It can cheer you up to rise above it
And impart a pleasant feeling of zest

Sunshine brightens the colours of flowers
Making them come alive in their glory
It possesses some magical powers
That transforms plainness into beauty

Sunshine on the gently rippling water
Creates a display of sparkling diamonds
Reverberating like silent laughter
That induces blissful joy in response

Gazing upward into the night
The stars are twinkling in the sky
Painting a very peaceful sight
As time goes slowly drifting by

The moon is quietly glowing
Amid the darkened clouds around
Her soft light is most comforting
Gently bathing things on the ground

The night air is cool and soothing
Like a balm to a weary soul
I feel it as I am breathing
Calming me and making me whole

Now I feel a quiet delight
After gazing at the night sky
I shall sleep peacefully tonight
Caressed by Nature's Lullaby

Gentle ripples on the water
Set in motion by a slight breeze
Move quietly on the pond's surface
With gracefulness and effortless ease

A fishing bird flies in suddenly
Skimming the pond's surface with its feet
Then dives headfirst into the water
In its search of a meal to eat

Something just broke the water's surface
Forcing me to full attention
I can see now an eye and the nose
Of a fledgling baby caiman

A bird's neck appears from the water
In its beak, there's a struggling fish
One gulp and the fish disappears
That was indeed a tasty dish

Water lily pads bob up and down
In harmony with the rippling water
Their crimson blooms standing upright
Sprinkled among the lilies cluster

Feeding close to the water's edge
There's a roving group of small fishes
They nibble on the morsels they find
Among roots of water grasses

I treasure sitting here in silence
Observing the pond in its glory
It fills me with such peacefulness
And deep feelings of tranquillity
