June: Poem
Aphrodite
and Her Babies
Aphrodite is a swan bird.
Her cygnets are stronger
Every day, every day.
The babies always stay closer
To their mother as explore the water.
Little ones are doing well and growing
Every day, every day.
I take time as my is thriving.
The peaceful nature scene
Shows anything than love,
Protection, and a strong bond.
Mother bird and her babies’ blend
Perfectly into the grassland.
Spike. Splash. Success.
The chase ends with breakfast.

Spoonbill
Spoonbill is a large birdie.
As we know, it lives in fresh water.
The bird is an ancestor of the spoonbill
species.
Do not mistake it with Ibises!
Roseatte spoonbills are monogamous
Nest on the tree,
Pink and white, with spatulate bills.
Distinctive flat bills, long necks, and legs
Brighten up by red plumage
That reflects on diets of ages.
Do not disturb food resources!
Roseatte eats small aquatic reserves –
Fish, frogs, and insects
When marching swamps
And stirring the water
To flesh out the prey.
Historically, spoonbills were hunted
For their feathers in millinery trades.
Today, enjoy their unique silhouette.
Today, we focus on protecting,
And restoring our wetlands
That all birds can fly!

Wonder to
Maintain
May I always remain
The kind person to sustain
Who sees wonder
Where others see nothing
Like a ladybug on the leaf,
A cricket singing in the dark,
A frog beside the sunrise down
Because of a gentle heart
That never outgrows
Respect for nature’s life
When the little legs
Are on the flower. –
Nature’s call
Never get old.
May I always remain
The kind person to sustain
To see every wonder to maintain.

Nothing
Remains Difficult
Nothing remains difficult
Forever, forever
Like sunsets and soft rain.
The birdsong at dawn
Is my peace of mind
Like a reminder in the whisper
Of the soft water murmurer
That has a complete effector.
A thinker can conquer
Like a protector.
Nothing remains difficult
Forever and ever
As nature tries to say constantly.

Loyalty or Affection
I.
There was a dispute
Who is more valuable and important.
We already have a paradise
Within us.
We have loyalty and affection
At the same time.
Also, it is important to have appreciation
Of life connection.
II.
For example, water would not sound
So melodious if there
Were no rocks on its way.
In the cascade of power words
There are no waterfalls
Where there were no rocks on its way.
III.
Animals are fun.
Some hope like a bunny,
Others stomp like a bear.
Animals wiggle and flap
The entire year,
With loyalty and affection.
IV.
The wise green tree listened and said,
“I clean your air.
I give you shade.
I store carbon.
All I ask is you let me live.”
Loyalty and affection
Make the Earth appreciate
What we all have in common
In life connection.

Experienced,
Not Expired
You can put expiration date
On the elderly fade.
You still balance wet and dry.
You do not let your heart cry.
Instead, you work hard,
You use music and art
To keep on with inevitable growth.
Continuing education could not be forced.
I do not wait for miracles
But do not want to miss the ones
That walk quietly beside me.
People say broken things
Keep the deepest maps inside them,
Due dates and destination.
True, true observation.
Are you sure that you cannot expire? –
Yes, I am tired and retired,
Not expired!
Listen, energy, skin, and glowing
Improve just in two nights
To stop aging from growing.
After all, experienced,
Not expired!
