Last Commented Nature Poems (1,977)

In spring the wind will rustle
And old leaves will tussle
Over the still bare ground
The smell of decay all around
Once when things started to thaw
Then the smell of apple blossoms is raw
Filling the air, swirling around as one
Tinges of pinks and whites are spun
Where new leaves and light begun
To sparkle like jades and jewels
I wait for those first orioles
And their short little chortles
Chirps and quick eyes as they hop
From branch to branch would plop
Pecking away at some unseen pray
Flying so effortlessly for awhile
Makes me marvel in triumphant style

Frustration while we wait the seasonal change
From winter bleak to a spring sunnier range
Maybe we're fed up, of dressing for the rain
Or wind and chill, and hair we need to tame

At least in northern New Zealand, never snow
Though feeling cold, with cheeks more a glow
Not from humidity and sunshine, buffered wind
Blue not rosy, body and bones feel tinged

Four seasons, can be mixed into one day
Take off and add layers, keep colds at bay
Dreaming of the sunshine, know it's real
When happily extra clothes, you can peel

The grass is always greener, we know its true
Wanting what we can't have, does see us through
Till the season we love, shakes our senses alive
Dare we moan about it later, humidity over rides

Impatience, I admit I want the season to rush
Spring seems so slow, and still rain will gush
But days get longer, and earth starts to wake
Grateful for every sunny day, as summer breaks.....

Little dusts of diamonds sparkling everywhere
On cards – decorations – and in the air
Snow dust in winter – frost in the fall
Sun shining through raindrops to enthrall

After Christmas in carpets – a path to walk
They are all year grabbing onto your sock
Tiny little flashes of bright light catching your eye
Encouraging you as you hurry on by

I love sparkles as my family well knows
Don’t send her a card unless sparkles on it glow
Others say plain is better but to me seem too dull
Sparkles brighten up my day and make it full

For light reflects off these little cheerful bits
Shining and cheering you on not to quit
When life at times gets depressing and dull
They are there lighting up like little angels

What is that bright light
Casting shadows across the land
Trekking across the winter sky
That shines so bright in your heart
Illuminating the mind with desire
To see its beauty lie before us
To seek the possibility of love
Makes a pulse so quicken
Like watching a beautiful sun
Setting across a lonely island
Attached to the water beams
Across the wave tops is a moon
That never quarrels with me

Twas a breathless night
And daybreak was fighting to arrive
On the far horizon
The last fading stars
Were caressing the early skies
Saying their final goodbyes
For the day ahead
And yet
It was far too early
To hear the morning birdsong
That made all
The trees, whisper their words
Of dawn greeting
It was that time
When all is still
Night was not over
Dawn had not managed to begin
And
All was quiet
So we sat and stared
Into each others eyes, that knowing look
Of tranquillity and unspoken words
That needed no telling
It was our time
A spellbound moment of love unbroken
And peace to us had spoken

Love could be written in sand
Could be written in the stars
Like a seal of approval
From gods Venus to Mars
I’ve got you in my sights
Focused front and center
The light mingles between us
Bending and compromising
What will the future behold
Will life ever grow old
Or always be renewed
Like the mountain spring
Shading by blooming trilliums
Our stories could be interwoven
Across all the millenniums
Like the warblers that sing
In the fresh wilderness forest
Along the ridge top spruces
Far above the hidden dangers
Lurking under the canopy
Our space is always won
When our survival beckons
Our arrival each spring
When we build our own nest
And pledge to do our best

It falls and falls
It forms a seamless
Tapestry of cloud and
Covers all that is familiar
Lying below… a tree... a road
It makes us blind like love
It is beautiful because it hides
Not light but everything changes
What we see and makes us miss
What we can’t see anymore even more
It changes how we see things
It covers even our perceptions
Of what was once a beautiful form
By making another beautiful form
It draws for us to admire things
Differently from it was before
When the path is cleared of it
It makes us smile to see it once again
Piled in steep banks glowing and glistening
Blue under the halos of street lights

Her Hair sways,
She dances in the sun
Her eyes sparkle ,
She glances at the sun
Her heart beats,
She feels the heat of the sun
Smile dances upon her lips,
Beads of sweat drip,
Skin bronzed,
She basks in the sun.

Feral words that demand freedom
Strain against the trap of my heart;
Wild eyed and stomping,
They quiver, whirl and falsely start.

They struggle in their confinement
Jostling, circling they seek escape;
Round the perimeters
They somehow form and shape.

Feral words that demand freedom
Have charged and broken down the gate;
Bucking and snorting,
They run blindly into their fate.

A great abyss swallows them whole
They run through the bit and it's pull;
Never to be seen again
Words escaped from a heart too full.

Heron still, watching
Rippling water hides dinner
Head dipped gotcha
