Listen as the rhythm
of a heated, humid day
meets the drumming of a
fevered, fertile night.
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.

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.
I planted a little story seed,
just placed it deeply in the ground
and, fertilizing carefully,
spread all the dirt and mulch around.
My very best friend is a tree.
He lifts me up and sets me free.
In his strong arms, the sun draws nigh;
his leafy patterns paint the sky.
I’m swinging on the happy tree,
in love with everything I see.
White, fluffy clouds and bright blue sky
reach out for me as I fly by.
Evening falls like gentle rain
upon the weary day.
The colors fade, then flash once more
before they pass away.

A woman is a tree of life;
the heavens know her grace.
In her is found an essence that
eclipses time and space.
