greensville .......EARTH........[Mizzy]
i want to see green
everywhere i go
for the world can't live without it
it's something everyone knows
green in the streets
with blossums that do shine
green in the backyards
full of fruit trees devine
green in the park
and along the creek
green in every bit of dirt
where ever you may peek
green sprouting from windows
and on rooftops too
giving of oxygen
for life to continue
forget the concrete slabs
where ever you may go
they only give you bunnions
did you not know
green for birds and the bees
and to stabilise the land
green from the shady trees
for man has too much demand
every bit of dirt that is built on
should have a green zone
recycling green waste
to improve what has been grown
the earth would be better place
it's simple to you and me
lets beautify the world
and live in green harmony......

About this poem:
how i see green he he .........
A Sunday to Remember
Wandering souls wearing itchy feet
Early on a Sunday 'morn what a feat
Down the highway, round the bend
Houses lining dusty road seems no end
Further afield into the forest deep
Driving slowly on roads a-curvy
Like a snake, winding along graveled road
Soaking in never ending glades so broad
Suddenly a creek so beautiful looms in view
Places and moments like these few
Eyes feasted; as brake made such a screech
Joining campers wallowing in sublime bliss
Of Mother Nature's lush and lavish gifts
Not a minute wasted, they are charmed
By the water's song, hard to resist
They followed where it wants to lead!
Down a quiet pool, spent time, meditate
Tapestry woven above only nature can create
Fresh leaves on fragile twigs and branches long
In sync with a verdant velvety carpet down below
Coming together, touching each other ever gracefully
Casting shadows onto coolish still waters
Dancing, bouncing, swaying like ballerinas
Yet serene, this place; Serene it seems!
Up ahead a log lay across the gentle stream
Foot bridge to reach other side, don't dream
Ever inquisitive, this little child within
Off she went away hoping to get a glimpse
Of the beauty waiting across the water to be seen
Stopped on her path, eyes on camera screen
Freezing this beauty for a lifetime to be seen
But the ground moved; and slithered it seemed!
It's a ssssssnnnnaaakkke! The word flashed in her brain!
Though hard-wired to either fight or flee
Yet this time feet locked-in; frozen they seem
An auto-survival strategy God's gift to us peeps
Here she felt a whole life-time flashed
Before a scream and a shriek broke the silence around
Her brain hopelessly ordering her able hands
"Take that photo you silly b*t*h" but her hands too froze in time!
Another step taken, her foot would have landed
Mid-body of what was thought a fat brown snake
Lunch soon served under a canopy of giant trees
Whew! What a way to work an appetite she thought!
Behind them, the creek her sweet symphony she plays
Heard across the verdant meadow by a few campers
Basking in the warmth of the sun's afternoon kiss!
In this beauté of a place named Boulder Creek!

About this poem:
We have snakes where I came from but have not seen or been anywhere near a snake outside a zoo...I'm scared of them! But I was even more scared when I described to my husband what I saw. It looks like I stood an inch away from a Death Adder...He said I'm a very lucky girl...I have since reminded myself that I am no longer in NZ where I use to roam around the forest on my own without fear (no snakes in NZ - except the occassional two legged species that comes out after swigging far to many bottles in one day ;-DNB: I just want to take your attention to that line: "take that photo...... silly b*t*h". I didn't really say that.... First I try not to swear... I'm not perfect though... But it's not part of my repertoire ... Second I would not start calling myself silly coz I don't want everyone else following... It just sounded better that way.... Thanks guys...just couldn't let you start thinking I'm a swearing cursing old trout ;-)

Dear Human
Dissipating,
Disappearing,
One by one
You forbid our existence
You wipe us out
As if you own the right
To decide our fate
We mean no harm
We came in peace
You took our lands
We did nothing
You took our food
We did nothing
You took our babies for trophy’s
We did nothing
Now, you take our horns
Our lives
And still
We do nothing
We lie, lifeless
Hopeless
With our babies
By our side,
Sniffing our bleeding faces
Waiting for us to wake up
We will never wake up
We are dead
We are dying
You are killing us
Our horns heal you say?
Your bullets kill
Your hearts are damaged
You minds infected
Deeper than any horn could ever heal
You murderers
You sick bastards
Do you not see
The pain,
The suffering
The cold blood pouring?
Do you not see
The damage?
The deterioration?
The depression?
Do you not see
Us?
What we are,
What we contribute?
We are big
We are bold
Yet, we remain powerless
At the mercy of your triggers
At the mercy of your conscience
Kill us
Carry on if you please
We will do nothing
We will simply die
We will return to the very roots of our existence
But you,
Dear human
You will suffer
You will beg
You will plead
For mercy to be shed upon your soul
And by God
I pray it is never granted
Enjoy the landscape
Wonder at the horizon
Marvel at the African plains
For soon it will be without us
Your children will never see us
Our children will never see us again
Live with that
And we will die with that
For our humble souls
Are greater than your evil ways
Good people,
Stop them
Please
So that we may roam in peace
Without fear
Without death
Stop them
Please
So that we may live on
Share our plains
Share our earth in harmony
Stop them
Please
So that we can just be
All we want
Is to just be
Just be
Left alone
Left alone to mercy of our creator
Our nature
His will
Not your weapons
I beg you
Please
Stop them.
Yours faithfully,
Rhino

About this poem:
I wrote thispoem in 2011 when the rhino poaching started to esculate dramatically. I feel VERY stongly about nature and was purely inspired by first hand breeding experience with these magic beasts.online today!Clouds (A Tanka)
fleecy grey white clouds
like giant grains of popcorn
edged with wisps of mist
in a clear azure blue sky
glowing in brilliant sunshine
like giant grains of popcorn
edged with wisps of mist
in a clear azure blue sky
glowing in brilliant sunshine

About this poem:
Autumn in Mackay...
SHADOW SONG
Looking in the night light the gentle wind smiles with delight, trees sway casting shadows of silence in evolutions awe. where crickets imaginations are so tall, yet they are so small.silowets dancing in swaying wind, always bending yet never declining, immortality of endless cycles of moon rising.

Like a pretty ghost you tempt with fragrence, while lurking in dreamy shadows of vivid colors. Your nector draws bees on intrepid wing, seeking redemption from the long winters nap. You simbolize spring with brilliance of allureing beauty.

~~ Take Away a Breath~~
I take a breath and within the wind it is so still~
Finding myself is not always so easy
Winterland has taken its toll as it's been way to cold~
In hopes for another season to come
It is being the wind beneath my mind to think what's
To come of tomorrow
Yesterday was just another day~ todays may seem long
Months from now could be very warm
However, it is what my heart is something to share if
~~It is of another desire~~
Heart full of wind
Breathless~
