Poem about Nature


Lets learn a lesson from nature


Nature
© Linda


I watch the waves crash in, breaking on the shore
All their anger dispensed on the oceans floor
I look at the sky so blue, sun shining so bright
Spreading heat and happiness with its blinding light
Long blades of grass swaying in the gentle breeze
Dancing in rhythm with so much ease
Look up at the trees hearing the singing of the birds
Happily chirping singing at ease without words
Sitting here holding my knees to my chest
Watching and hearing nature at it s best
I ponder how Nature could get it so right
When we have let Natures lessons get so out of sight
We hold our anger, let our happiness slip away
Making our survival a struggle each and every day
We have forgotten the little things that mean so much
Like the laughter, the freedom, and someone’s loving touch
If only I could make people stop, watch and listen to Natures tale
We could all sit back happily and our world would not be so frail
In each others existence in harmony we could all survive
I’m sure like the sun, wind, tree, and birds our lives we could revive
If only we let nature take its course in each and every one of us each day and night
As I sit and ponder how Nature got it so right and we lost all sight.

Environment Poem


A poem written by an 11 year old who loves this world.


Look Outside
© Josie Greveling


Look Outside, see the trees
Watch the flowers in the breeze
Things won't be like this in a year or two
If polluting is all we do
Seize the night
Seize the day
Things won't always be this way
Thousands of people are dying
In the night you hear children crying
Let's stop the war
Our people are sore
The world can't help itself
Who cares about your wealth
Help me to help you
Show the world what you can do.

Poem about Nature


The survival of the wild horse


Wild Horse
© Trish Beckwith


Aloft the wind
I ride the night sky
I see the world through a much different eye

Power, beauty
Strength and grace
I feel the spirits of ancestral space

Pride of herd
Sisters and brothers
I live ever watchful standing by others

A kaleidoscope of colors
No two ever the same
The short, the tall, the long of mane

I know the chance
I know the fear
I live on the edge for death crouches near

On my back I carry a load
Through storm and calm
Ever vigilant and bold

I have died in battle
Killed by man
Hunted by predator as I roamed the land

No more room
Not enough grazing
Captured, shot, sold by pound on bills of lading

Yet I survive
Sometimes an insurmountable course
I am feral, I am Mustang, I am Wild Horse

Animal Poem


I really do love reading poems and I love writing poems, my favorite animals are wolves and tigers and that's why I wrote a poem about them because they are free animals and they are strong. I am going to write a poem about tigers but not yet I still need time to think what I'm going to write about.


The Hunting Wolves
© Sienna K. Chong


in the frosted white snow these animals appear
you see them all the time mostly every year
they can see you with their evil yellow eyes
they can come up behind you without a surprise
they attack whatever is in there way
they attack every night and mostly everyday
their furs are hidden and blends with the snow
they will follow you wherever you go
they are fast and never will they stop hunting
till they lose their breath, their night is coming
they will rest till their evening night is here
they will rest till the light of day disappear
once you hear them howling at night
they will cry to happiness with the moonlight
the stars will guide them to become strong
other people say their weak, but they are wrong
these powerful creatures will fight till the end
these powerful creatures are even better within
they will fight till their hunt has past
they will never give up, no way back
so now that they have become something they've always have been
they can't wait for the next day and start again

Animal Poem


Hi, my name is Chelsie, I am 14 years old and I am very passionate about all animals especially whales. I actually wrote this poem in English class but my teacher never marked it so I don't know how good it is. I wrote it because I think whaling is an issue that needs to be brought up more often, to help stop it. I have been trying to express my feelings about whaling in so many ways, making posters, posting videos on the internet and so much more, but none of them felt right until I wrote this poem. Again, I'm not sure how good it is, but I hope it'll cause more awareness.


Whales: An Innocent Death
© Chelsie Woodhead


As the gentle giants swim through the sea,
Not expecting a thing,
A sharp metal object is heading their way,
And they feel a sharp sting.

They don’t know what happened,
But they feel a lot of pain,
The innocent creatures,
Are pulled up by a chain.

Now they’ve figured it out,
They know what’s going on,
A whaling harpoon has hit them,
A massive violent gun.

As they’re pulled up to the whaling ship,
Their condition deteriorates,
They get weaker and weaker,
They’re in a terrible state.

The last thing they see,
Just before they die,
Is the satisfied look,
In the fisherman’s eye.

I hope this proves,
How cruel whaling is,
Well how would you like it,
If you were treated like this?

Animal Poem


I am forever an animal lover, more so a dog lover. This is a question many times I have heard asked by children, so as I may not be able to answer that question for certain I did write a poem in hopes that children will enjoy the comfort in the possibility that maybe there will be animals in heaven.


Are There Pawprints In Heaven?
© Missy Davis


I hear of a place that is made of gold,
a place where we shall never grow old,
But one answer I have not heard at all,
will there be paw prints from my little dog?
He promised us joy right from the start,
I just wonder if she'll be a part.
So as I sit here and dream of the day,
I wonder if heaven she will stay?
When your walking down with the saints of old
take a glimpse of that new road and if there you shall see,
Maybe a pawprint just for me.

A mother explains Heaven to her dying son. Do not miss this one, it is truly beautiful.


To Our Ellis

© Pamela A. Snow

How does a loving mother, explain
Heaven to her dying child?
Please give me the words, O Lord, and
let me say them with a smile...
There is a place called Heaven, Son,
beyond the skies above,
It is the place where GOD is watching,
His Heart so full of Love.
He watches all His children, Son,
He watches you and me,
He wants to know we love Him, and
hopes that we will be...
Always strong and healthy, always
kind and free!
But, sometimes, things do happen, Son,
and sickness takes a hold,
It might be something serious, it
might be just a cold.
GOD sends His special angels,
to watch over us and pray,
And, by our side they linger, they
are never far away.
They lift us up on angels' wings when
we are all too weak,
And, oh!, they pray so softly, Son,
with gentle whispers do they speak.
So, have no fear, my darling, should
GOD come to take you Home,
For it is up there in that Heaven,
Son, where you will run and laugh
and roam!
You will hear that angel choir rejoice
in praises to the LORD,
And, my darling precious child, you
never will be sick, again...
No, never, anymore!!
But, most of all, you will meet the
King, our Saviour, your Best Friend,
oh my!,
If I could see him take your hand, I
know that I would cry!!
You have fought so long, you gave your
all..GOD says it's time to rest,
We will always love and miss you, Ellis,
but GOD...He knows what's best!

Dedicated to the Memory of 7 yr old, Ellis Mayfield, of Simpsonville, SC, who fought a 1 1/2year battle with an inoperable brain tumor. He received the
SC Governor's Outstanding Leadership and
Citizenship Award for his unfailing bravery and courage...a little boy who
kept laughing and loving... 'til the very end.

Spiritual Poem about Nature


I love water, nature, dreams, love, and a peaceful life. I have many more of these I just chose one. I used to dream of writing for thousands of people, just never did. I hope you enjoy it.

Nature's Hand
© Carol Lafreniere


Walking towards a wishful dream,
By your side a crooked stream,
Above, the clouds are fluffy cream,
No longer do you want to scream.

The air it smells so sweet.
The birds go, twitter tweet.
Soft grass to place your feet.
You groove with nature's beat.

Out here, there are no cars.
Out here, there are no bars.
Nighttime brings you Venus, Mars;
Uncountable amounts of stars.

Take it all in friendly stride,
Don't ever feel you have to hide.
This is where you reach inside,
And spread your wings; feel them glide.

Your life is yours, not theirs to take.
Light a fire by the lake.
Always love, with whom you wake,
Never let your friendships break.

Always live without regret.
Don't give up, not now, not yet.
Know the future isn't set.
Appreciate what love you get.

I know that nature's trees are tall,
There's some you cannot climb at all-
Full in Spring ''til Autumn's Fall,
Covered in a winter shawl.

And as the seasons come and go,
You'll see the stream begin to grow.
Filled by your whole life you know,
Carried in the winds that blow.

Listen to the song it sings-
Love and peace is what it brings.
Sharing all the little things,
Smoothing over dents and dings.

That what living's all about.
Never fill it up with doubt.
Look real close to find this out-
Always seek the kinder route.

And you will see, my oldest friend,
This dreamy life, it has no end.
There's always more beyond the bend,
Nature's hand, a limb, to lend.

5-3-96 C Marie

Spiritual Poem about Nature


This is a poem to remind all of you guys who ever felt like giving up to remember what's inside of you.


My Soul
© Kate


My soul is courage flying like a dove
My soul is wisdom and knowledge
bursting like a horse galloping
My soul is understanding like a puppy
My soul is graceful like a dolphin swimming in the sea
My soul sings like a bird tweeting its own songs
My soul is unique like one snowflake in many billions
My soul is happy to be this way

Spiritual Poem about Nature


I am a song writer and I wrote this as a song, but felt that the words were very much a work of poetry. We see God's handy-work all around us in nature, and I wanted the person hearing or reading these words, to realize that.


Where Peaceful Waters Flow

© Keith Burroughs

The clouds break forth the streams of light
To dance upon the earth,
And cradled in the sands of time,
Comes a newborn babies'' birth.
A gentle breeze blows through the night,
It whispers through the grass,
And ripples on the water form
As rain glistens on the glass.

And you listen to the sound,
The Lords' presence all around.
He summons us to go
Where peaceful waters flow.

A rainbow arcs across the sky,
A promise is displayed.
The graceful flight of a butterfly,
It takes my breath away.
The autumn leaves in their splendor
Fall gracefully to the earth,
And stars proclaim their song at night,
What is their beauty worth?

And you listen to the sound,
The Lords' presence all around.
He summons us to go
Where peaceful waters flow.
