Flight of Whimsy

A little bird flew in my window,
much to my surprise.
He watched me rather quietly,
a question in his eyes.
Welcome to my collection of original nature poems. Everyone needs a “happy place,” and nature happens to be mine. That’s why I am making these nature poems available, to give poetry lovers a chance to explore and commune with the great outdoors, even when they have to stay inside. These poems make wonderful gifts, cards, and meditations…but please remember to email a request to me and include full copyright information on every copy made. (For internet use, a link back to the poem on this site is required.)

How do you like to go up in a swing?
Pump your legs or be pushed?
Take it slow or take wing?
How beautifully leaves grow old.
In glory, they slip away.
I want to say
the worth of a puddle
is in the scenery it reflects.
Autumn is a feeling,
and it takes you for a ride.
Listen as the rhythm
of a heated, humid day
meets the drumming of a
fevered, fertile night.
Nesting in a tree,
resting on its roots,
red-caped superhero sporting
camouflage boots.
Proof of divinity is all around.
God’s handiwork transcends His mystery.
