My walking poem of the week. I’m not a Christian but I love my Christian friends and family members. This is for them… and for anyone else who enjoys a ramble. https://www.vianegativa.us/2023/09/epistemology-on-jacks-mountain/ #appalachian #ecopoetry

awoken by a dying rabbit
its shrieks in the night …

This week’s nature poem features a timber rattlesnake and a lot of insects, blood-sucking and otherwise https://www.vianegativa.us/2023/07/hiking-the-horizon/

by a white fog of mold

what makes me think
i alone can stay dry…

the field has its sparrows
and the eastern wood its pewees

but i am melancholy as a catbird’s
parody of a wood thrush

for true refinement can only
be learned from the masters…

Pop over to iambapoet.com if you like good contemporary #poetry. Each poet has three self-chosen poems with audio of them reading their work. A new wave of 15 poets comes every three months. #iambapoet is a beautiful site with #poems to match.
I have three recent #ecopoetry poems there. If there is a theme it is that we must open to the #healing powers of #Nature and understand our #Humanity in its context- which is all life on #planet-A #thereisnoplanetb https://t.co/jU947ItPdH

what does it mean
to be an object

under the soft hammers
of rain on the roof

to waken in the night
with the sky at all the windows...

into an empty creek bed

does a broom learn
to love the taste of dust…

Very happy to announce I have been accepted for wave 14 of iambapoet, part of a stellar cast #poetrybyme #poetry #ecopoetry
The poems will be up from 14 June meanwhile spend some time browsing the site: lots of great work plus for each poem you can hear a recoding of the poet reading their poems. A unique journal.

Night hawks asleep on a driftwood roost in Tambopata River, Peruvian Amazon. Tambopata National Park core has only one lodge, Tambopata Research Center. I am so lucky to have stayed there twice, in a ‘room’ open to the jungle. I wish I was there. Perhaps I can write myself back?

More and more I have come to admire resilience.
Not the simple resistance of a pillow, whose foam
returns over and over to the same shape, but the sinuous
tenacity of a tree: finding the light newly blocked on one side,
it turns in another. A blind intelligence, true.
But out of such persistence arose turtles, rivers,
mitochondria, figs – all this resinous, unretractable earth.

From IceFloe Press

Our life chains are broken
by hostile components, degraded
over time. Drink those constructed cells,
from taps and hands, until we are nothing
but a byproduct, a manufactured mess,
left rummaging upon land-filled plastic

From Robert Frede Kenter @RobertFredeKenter in IceFloe Press:

Blue jays, red cardinals, their
sculpted wings fluttering, eco memorial
to the do-not-cross zones, melted cheese
cathedrals of worship,
glacial, screaming, cake icing, generative celestial.

#Trees

There is magic in the tree's
Space
Hope
A chance to breathe!

You can root yourself here
In the woods
Take a little time
It feels so good

But don't forget
You've a duty too
To care for its life
As it cares for you.
