Category: Poems about Nature

Outside in the heat
On a persistent quest to
Remain hydrated

Blast from the Past:

Winter beach: lilting waves,
Icy wind, quiet: No one’s dumb
Enough to be here.

Beautiful birds
Building their nest within the
Very Tree of Life

Blast from the Past:

Do birds sing new songs
Once they migrate to
Distant lands?

Thrown into the water
The net comes back with
Tons of trapped fish
For you to dislodge

Blast from the Past:

The rabbits present
The tiger with many fish
To not become lunch.

Trees peak in and out
As the fog rolls off the hills
Opening up space

Blast from the Past:

Beyond the limits
Set by empty space lies a
New infinitude

My brain is pounding.
My limbs throb everywhere.
I can barely move.

(I’ve been sick for the last few days, in case you were wondering while I wasn’t able to post haikus for a few days. I wrote the haikus each day but was just unable to come online and post them. You should see them posted over the next few days.)

Blast from the Past:

The snot in my nose
Will there be a limit to
How much I blow out

There at the water
That all animals must drink,
The crocodile waits

Blast from the Past:

The frog leaps forward,
The first to charge forth and get
Splattered by a car

Ever-present heat
Blankets you in mugginess
All throughout the day

Blast from the Past:

Slick yet cracking skin
The dry sun ages young hearts
Dreams dissolve in heat
