Seasons come, Seasons go
From greens to golds to browns
Spring, summer and autumn
Coverings like nature's gowns
Separating the strong from the weak
It's part of her natural progression
That this cold season seeks
All shoots appear for light
To journey on in their existence
Not Quite a Rainbow
Fire rainbow, misnamed.
Circumhorizontal arc
Is an optical
Phenomenon, an
Ice halo formed by plate shaped
Ice crystals in high
Level cirrus clouds.
Circumhorizon arc is
It's other cool name
Moonbow
From the surface of
The moon, light reflected gives
Off that rainbow scene
For when the moon is
Near to full, at it's brightest
Opposite of her
And natures rains fall
Combination creates, a
Moonbow oh! so rare
The Tide is High
Tidal surge
Global warming
Sea's rising
Nature's warning
Do we ignore
Or do we react
Do we debate
Or ignore the fact's
Around the table
All countries should meet
To discuss our future
Before our lands retreat
There are many ways
To rectify
Nature's vengeance
But we have to comply?
The Falls of Life
Cascade of blue, flows
Green mosses, grace nature's rocks
The trees drink in toast
For Raul's contest " Rhythm of the Falls "
Waters Fall Under Gravity Feed
Serene sounds of the Rhythm of the Falls
Echo through the forests green canopied walls
Delightful in flow like Robin's pen
Where the Rhythm of the Falls will flow time and time again
Her liquid lullaby, capturing natures sight
Greened mossed coverings, a velvet delight
As the waters fall under gravity feed
The Rhythm of the Falls, are beautiful indeed
After reading Robin's lovely Haiku " Liquid Lullaby " these lines flowed.
The Cobalt Coastline
Bluey black, clouds and waves
Dark shades, shadow the nightfall
The cobalt coastline
Aqua Sky
Black crows are gracing
An aqua laden sky
As the clouds slowly merge
To wish the morn goodbye
Greened coniferous horizons
Peer through the misty banks
Engaging in momentary glimpses
For nature again, we thank
The surface of the lake
Bottle smooth and so serene
Aqua blue reflections
Enhance this pristine scene
The mist eventually rises
As the sun burns through it's haze
I look forward too tomorrow
For more of these glory days
Even Butterflies, Fly Through Clouds
Delightful in posture
In beautiful dreams
The grace of the butterfly
In gliding streams
They live their lives
As we all do
Battling elements
Some make it through
Some fall on the thorn
Others will wilt
While others prosper
Their future built
Do we know
Could they say it out loud
As they rise through the meadow
Even butterflies, fly through clouds
Our Countryside
From the tips of the treetops
To the mountain peaks
Scenery of awe
Can make a grown man weep
Snow capped generals
Tower over lands below
Where crystal fresh streams
Down the hillsides flow
Ripples and whirlpools
On their meandering way
Passing greened pastures
Oozing natures bouquet
Animals off all sorts
Grace these scenes
Take a walk in the hills
And you will see what I mean
Flowers and colours
Out of this world
Sounds of the animals
Have to be heard
So next time you are driving
Through your country
You will be quite surprised
Too whats all around thee
Autumn Fairy
The Autumn fairy
To my garden she came
Bringing colours and sorrow
As winter gains
Her role in life
Is to console the plants
To ensure their tomorrow
She willingly grants
Trees so massive
As they bow to her words
For the truth she speaks
Never a season absurd
Perennial plants
Continue the hope
And the evergreens
In winters soak
For come the spring
Previous whispers she said
As you look all around
Sights that will turn your head
So come the next fall
When the leaves drift down
Look for the Autumn fairy
Wearing her Autumn gown
Avenue of the Moon
Shades of black
On an ebony night
As the moon shines down
Such a wonderful sight
A channel of water
Mirrors the sky
As the clouds float
In my thankful eyes
The avenue of the moon
Silhouettes the tops of the trees
Like a silent guard of honor
In blissful guarantee
Another capture of delight
In this world where we live
For generations and beyond
If we give, she relives
The Lone Tree
Solitary tree
Silhouetted by the moon
Nature at her best
Life's Living Well
Deep in the forest
Their is a pool so pure
Its translucent surface
An animals lure
This foster of life
From the skies it fell
As it collects and flows
Life's living well
Algae and plant
In local grow
Absorb its moisture
In greenery show
On earth all around
In prosperous abundance
This giver of life
Our ubiquitous, watery substance
Water
Our ubiquitous
Chemical substance, water
Essential to life
Like Blue Roses
The night in capture
Clouds graced by earths lunar light
Heavenly blue roses
Spring Meadows in Abundance
The meadows along the mountainsides
In glorious flowery bloom
Colours oozing, insects buzzing
Out the window of my front room
The chirping sounds of the birds
Orchestral voices on the wing
Serenading, communicating
What a joy to hear them sing
To the left i hear spring waters
It's trickle has become a flow
The winter has come and gone
As the sun melts the virgin snow
The vista of crisp blue sky
Quilts the scenes above
Whilst a bird of peace coos
A most brilliant white young dove
If you live beside a mountain
Please take the time to view
No better array of nature reborn
By her grace, it's for me and you
