Drought, Floods, Heat, Cold…Hell (Haiku)

Drought, floods, heat, cold…Hell

We refuse to accept blame

~ Its global warming

Bread, Milk, Stocked Pantry (Tanka)

Bread, milk, stocked pantry

Protection from arctic cold

Taken for granted

No comfort to the homeless

Freezing and dying alone

Forest Walk

Forest walk–crisp night,

Moon reflecting off snow white.

Pure as God’s Angels

Welcoming the virgin birth

Into this diluted world.

So short a time is the beauty unspoiled;

Where footsteps have not yet soiled.

Until man imparts his bloody mark

Corrupting nature’s pristine gift.

Model Of Perfection

Cascading waterfalls,

Feed by mountain snows,

Sculpt masterpieces,

On a canvas of faceless stone,

Meticulously perfect,

Timeless in their artistry,

Mother’s brushes and chisels,

Water, wind and sand,

Do what the masters could never do,

Hobbema- Rembrandt paint pretty pictures,

But nature did create their models,

By her own steady hand,

Exquisitely crafted and signed,

To the world with love.

Veiled moon shines brightly

Behind a virgin snowfall

Painting the landscape

Warmth melts winters snow

Cascading down mountainsides

To fill crystal pools
