    About this ebook

    In the reality of life, nature's truest art,
    Is not in your eyes but from your heart
    For nature is a naturalistic state of mind?
    Perceived as a future of mankind.

    I’ve always had a feeling of love toward the outdoors!
    The peaceful serenity and the fresh air!

    That’s why many of my poems have been from or about nature! Please let your mind go and enjoy!

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Your Poetry

      Apr 30, 2021

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.

      Remember to think on joy, my love.Remember to think on joy. May it be a steamy, hot bath.Or the incredibly long neck of a giraffe. Crunching a leaf.A crooning song-weep. Sandy shifted, foot-tread whispers.Or the ochre-dusty finger paint, that lingers

      Images on a Rainy Night

      Western skies, vast in copious gray shades, ring with tympanic thunder.

      Bolts, bright and jagged split the dark, moist, opulent air,

      Illuminating the night scenes!

      Desert pavements, glistening with wetness;

      Windows distorted with beads of crystal rain!

      Dogs cowering,

      Shivering,

      Shuddering

      Huddled in trash can alleys, sniffling and sneezing.

      Lights shimmering peacefully in mirrored sidewalk
