nature poetry
An ode to Mother Nature; poems that take their inspiration from the great outdoors.
The Oldest Posture of the Land
The shift begins in the air’s density: a faint thinning at the edges of warmth, the atmosphere recalibrating its balance of heat and loss. Light fractures differently across stone, and shadows migrate along new vectors. The world reorders itself by degrees, quiet and measurable and precise.

The Dandelion in Concrete.
They say nothing soft survives here. Not in places where the world is loud with engines and footsteps, where laughter echoes off brick walls that forget kindness, where roots are meant to wither beneath gasoline summers and frostbitten winters. Yet somehow, in the smallest fracture of the pavement, I exist.

The Milky Way
Gazing at the night sky, one can be overwhelmed by the Milky Way's beauty. This ancient galaxy has inspired poets for centuries, and here is one such creation. Its ethereal glow paints a breathtaking canvas, sparking wonder and mystery in all who behold it. Let this poem transport you to the heart of our galaxy, where beauty and wonder intertwine.

Wild roots and tamed branches
I raised myself in the forest behind our house—an unwanted child no one cared for. Wounded knees and scratched shins remind me of the tall pines teaching me the first lessons. I collected dirt under my nails and petals in my pockets. I wrote stories before anyone knew I could write. I read them to my dolls, my only audience that ever truly listened. I mixed crushed violets and rainwater in chipped jars, creating secret potions that would turn me beautiful, that would make people love me.
