Spoonbill: Poem

 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: Poem

 

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: Poem

 

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: Poem

 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: Poem

 

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!

Cardinal Solitude: Poem

 

Cardinal Solitude

Cardinal bird behind my window

Came to visit the widow.

He did not come to blend in.

He came to set the sky on fire,

Loud, confident,

And sophisticated.

Cardinal solitude

Where is build new life,

And male bird builds safety around it.

He kisses and feeds the mate,

He hugs and caresses,

Because cardinals are the best!

Always looking for each other

And their babies –

Cardinals are a symbol of long-lasting love.

Their bound continues of distance and change.

I need their solitude.

I started to believe

That cardinals are more than a bird…

Cardinals remind me

That the ones we missed are never truly gone.

Maybe heaven let us know,

We are still being watched over.

People say cardinal bird

Is a visitor from heaven.

Cardinal, cardinal appears

When angels are near forever, forever!

Nature's Road: Poem

 

Nature’s Road

Some roads are not meant

To be rushed,

They meant to be felt.

O’my gosh, I am on the road

While walking in a beautiful green world.

The morning roads

Where nature’s heart beats.

Endless roads

Bring endless peace.

Peace is just a quiet road away.

Let nature guide your soul today.

My journey through nature’s embrace

Is a perfect nature’ path

To lose itself and find peace

Beside crystal waters and lash green trees.

I found peace of mind in places

To leave me in awe.

Peaceful road, nature’s calm.
