Foreword
This volume contains selections of nature poetry culled from my full length poetry collections published between 2011 and 2020. This collection is not exhaustive by any means. There are other nature poems that I’ve written that exist outside of this book. It is meant merely to serve as a sampler to those unfamiliar with my work. If you enjoy these, I invite you to peruse my other publications.
I am a nature lover who enjoys spending time outside to take walks and absorb the surrounding beauty. I often find myself inspired to write in a wilderness atmosphere, and dreaming of spending time in nature while indoors.
I love animals, I eat a plant based diet, and I am conscious of the precarious nature of life on this planet. I have included a handful of environmentalist poems within these pages. I hope you will find these selections enjoyable to read and thought provoking.
Don’t forget to honor your Mother Earth.

Listen!
Listen! Listen!
Do you hear that?
Our Mother, she is calling.
She weeps with a broken heart.
She begs for her children to treat her with love.
For her children to act out of gratitude.
Their existence relies upon her.
*Sigh*
But only some of her children choose love.
They take her messages to heart,
and they shout them from the rooftops.
Others still heartlessly plunder her house,
her patience, her time, her heart,
leaving it barren.
Her tears flood our streets.
She bathes in a tsunami of sorrow.
She exhales in hurricanes
that cry out, “Wake Up!”
Listen to your Mother Earth.
She is calling.
Do not let her cries go unheard!
Hear her, so that we may turn,
that she may turn,
that we might all be welcome in her home,
in the only home we’ve ever known.
These excesses that we chase
in the name of fame and fortune
will soon come to swallow us,
if we do not turn
towards
a life of simplicity,
a life of sustainability,
a life
that respects all other life.
The solutions are right in front of us.
We hold within us the vision.
All we must do
is act.
