Desert (free verse)

So hot and dry
only the cacti provides water.
Deriving creatures of the essential needs.
baked and blazing,
cracking the ground,
fierce winds blow hard.
Evaporating all the water
Temperatures reaching up to 50 Celcius,
like the Death valley
this is the desert.

Forest life (edited to a Shakesperean sonnet)

Running hard in the big rocky forest,
and then it suddenly appeals to me,
that the spiritual growth of this vast place,
is always thriving like a living tree.
Animals that will eternelly run,
shape the environment that we live in,
all the humid wetlands and damp marshes,
protected by mother nature within.
Enormous plants and scraggly bushes,
they constently be so useful to us,
they breathe in the pollution,
and so we can evermore conclude that thus,
the whole forest is always alert, alive
all very hidden within, all which strive.

Combs(quatrain) *

Bzzz Bzzz, bees start to buzz,
the coming out of the hive but 'twas,
penetrating  as through the air,
and it startes to flare.

Sun (quatrain)

Sunshine flutttering into the room
fills the air with heat,
the flowers start to bloom,
all so gentle and sweet.

Dandelion (quatrain)

The yellow dandelion,
comes to life every spring
in which it is an abstraction,
that gives off a strong ring.

Gloomy day (quatrain) *

Hanging vines and a broken twig,
Flying clouds overhead,
it eludes me why they are so big,
so ominous, filled with extreme dread.

Jungle mysteries (quatrain)

Stalking in the jungle,
like a tiger's breath.
I hear the call of the bugle,
which signals the end of the ferocious wrath.

Nature (free verse) *

Vast of birds and animal life,
full of songs and dance,
so unique and yet wild,
filled with natural disasters,
a variety of a plant kingdom,
and the phenominon of what is all around us.

Scenery (diamante) *

                 Ocean
              blue wavy
    lapping freezing amazing
  water seas jungle woodland
     running leaping flying
            bushy viney
                Forest

Mountain (haiku) *

The mountain glacier,
really high above the ground
All frozen with ice.

Storm gathering (free verse) *

On a overcast day,
the clouds are beginning to gather,
over the apocalyptic bay,
In which it starts to rain.
Raining hard,
as it pours down,
the rocks start to drown,
and the bay starts to flood.

Nature (edited to a shakesperean sonnet)

Nature is beautifully amazing,
we should enjoy the wonders of nature,
as we most often are viewing, gazing,
at nature's astounding architecture.
The ghastly damage is already done.
We must stop the deadly global warming,
as many of our loved ones often run,
it is very shcoking and alarming.
The beautiful preserved green grassy field,
the white, fluffy, soft and delicate swan.
Nature most certainly cannot be healed,
as the whole kindom of things is all gone.
Nature must be, has to be protected,
As humans will also be affected.

Tree (life) free verse

A little tree,
just planted, all newborn,
Seasons later, a little bigger,
Leaves starting to sprout,
starting to go green.
Winter comes,
the tree grows bigger,
as it loses all its leaves,
and go into hibernation.
The sun comes out,
and it needs to be watered,
or else it will shrivel.
Years later, it blossoms
into a full grown tree,
with all its colourful and magical leaves.
Approaching Christmas,
it gets cut down,
too big for the forest,
it is stored inside peoples homes
as they celebrate.
Once a little shrub,
Now a full grown tree.

Gentle breeze (edited to a Shakesperean sonnet)

The big tall green bushy forest pine trees,
covered with blowing white and pretty snow
in the blue sky, where the gentle breezes
that always, in the drafting, cool wind blow.
Through the pleasant, miraculous breezes,
there are always chimes, ringing all the time.
even though large icicles always freeze,
that are chilled, pierced in the light wintertime.
This beautiful landscape is amazing.
Speechless, one cannot describe it with words
and nonstop, it usually is blazing
with the regular, graceful hummingirds.
Fluttering in the crimson, sunset sky,
This is where tranquility and peace lie.

Forest Life

Running in the forest,
it appeals to me,
that the spiritual growth of this place,
is like a living tree.
Animals that run,
shape the environment that we live in,
all the wetlands and marshes,
are protected by mother nature within.
Plants and bushes,
breathe in carbon,
they are so useful to us,
and so thus,
the whole forest is alive
all hidden within, all which thrive.

Storm (quatrain)

The lightning strike
the moving clouds,
pierces the ground like a spike
is all like a crowd.

Sunset glow (quatrain)

Watching the sunset glow
gives me a warmth inside,
though it gives me quite a blow,
it will always abide.

Night sky (quatrain) *

As I stare into the dark sky,
I notice a streak of bright light,
That reaches up oh so high,
with the drifting breeze throughout the night.

Victory

I know its true
when  waved the peace flag
that pierced, that cut through
the skies.
We won, I'm sure of it
battered and bruised by nature's fury
which does not keep us warm,
but destroys us, bit by bit.
Through the rough drifts
the wind is swift,
deploying soldiers,
to keep our country free.
Poppies blow, in the air,
landing between the crosses,
In Flanders Fields.
On November 11th we celebrate,
the intrepidity of each soldier.
Standing in silence, we remember.
We remember the exertion
each soldier had to face.
We remember your faces,
your sacrifice and heroism.
The echo of your selflessness,
and the powerful legacy
you have left behind.
Many may not be with us today,
but we remember in our hearts,
the service that they provided,
and the dedication to their country.

Cliff hanger (quatrain) *

The enormous cliff,
looms above the blue ocean,
eagles and hawks fly in motion,
landing on the numerous skiffs.

And the I see a world of natural wonder.

Waterfall (free verse)

Cold liquid,

sprinkling down the cliff,

while white water wash wafts everywhere.

Global warming (free verse)

What will we do...?
without the wildlife, the plants,
all absorbing massive damage.
carbon polluting the air,
more natural disasters,
such as hurricanes and tornadoes,
tsunamis and thunderstorms

What will we do...?
In the countryside,
the ground is shifting,
opening up the enormous core.
that spurts out lava,
and shakes the tree roots.
Cities, towns, villages
flooding with water,
overcrowding rooftops,
disease spreading
What will we do...?

Heat waves and drought,
conflicts and war,
sea level risings,
polar ice meltings,
floods and fires,
What will we do...?

An increase in smog,
massive animal extinction.
Is this the effect of global warming...?
The greenhouse effect...?;
Preventing damage is key
saving the polar bears from extinction,
the migratory birds,
the hibernating animals,
and the ocean life.
Not extricating the foreboding situation,
that is what we will do.

which is the waterfall.

Waves lapping,
Salty seawater.

Swimming,

Surface shimmering
Transparent,
Rippling tides,
Peaceful and
Tranquil,
As dusk approaches,
The sun sets,
The aurora fades away.
Throughout the night,
It is dark, gloomy
Ominous, frightening,
Foreboding, fearful,
Without a light,
It becomes dim,
As morning approaches,
It is sensational, and
It is magnificent,
That is the power of the blue ocean.

Fluttering in the bright sky,
This is where peace lie.
