Umbrellas offer solid proof
that weather’s not in vain.
Surely, a drop of rain
deserves a bit of notice.
Welcome to my collection of original nature poems. Everyone needs a “happy place,” and nature happens to be mine. That’s why I’m making these nature poems available online. They offer readers a chance to explore and commune with the great outdoors, even when they can’t be there personally! These poems also make wonderful gifts, cards, and meditations. Please remember to email a request to me before using one of my nature poems. Include full copyright information on every copy made. (For internet use, a link back to the poem on this site is required.)

Umbrellas offer solid proof
that weather’s not in vain.
Surely, a drop of rain
deserves a bit of notice.
So many moments to love in this life,
so many unrecognized pleasures.
Whenever the world puts a lock on your hope,
break it open and set free the treasures……
Rain just gotta fall some time.
Fierce rain just gotta fall.
Beauty is in the simple things
that ease into a willing heart:
Dusk falls, then calls forth starling wings
while sun and moon paint works of art.
The ocean, so constant and steady,
swells in silence to fall with a roar.
Seaweed circles around in the eddy,
gets caught up or breaks free for the shore.
I’d like to just let go of me
and ride the waves across the sea––
willy-nilly, to and fro
with no particular place to go.
The ocean pounding on the shore
Awakens with a crashing roar
Reminds me that you are no more
O be not lulled by placid sea
nor lapping waves
of harmony
