My good friend and newly inspired poet Terry Feingold wrote the following poem that I think is worth a ponder …
Woolly Mammals
by Terry Feingold
I sit, before me
Loosely clothed of garments soaked,
Well-read thoughts, some memories,
Some doubtful.
I lay, from within
We speak of melting,
Tomorrow knowing, today comes ghastly,
Meteoric troubled times.
Standing comes easily,
As one from afar, no future,
Not only [...]

About the Poems
I write about the connections between people and nature. Often about our own fragile humanity. Frequently, simple descriptions of momentary interactions. Strung together, these poems bounce like a life bounces.
As a student of life, a scientist, I explore my own biology and it’s dependence on the world around me. In [...]

Look at her, sitting there on the jagged rock.
Twisted, tangled, contemplating what transpired.
Warm, always too warm, she wonders …
How long can this go on?
How long before the warming, did they know?
She twists and turns and sits,
With her back toward the reddened sun.
Her favorite place is now a barren desert.
No squirrels, no eagles, just her.
Tears have [...]
This poem comes to us from Juliet Wilson author of Crafty Green Poet . I discovered Juliet’s blog after learning she was a recipient of the Bloggers for Positive Global Change award. Congratulations Juliet. She is from Edinburgh, Scotland home of my roots so this poem is especially touching [...]
Wind blow;
Flora Sing;
Fauna Dance;
Water Drum.
It is like a party,
Welcoming the new day,
The beauty of nature,
Enjoyed by the world.
Wind Hound;
Flora Cry;
Fauna Sick;
Water Drain.
Today, no longer a party
But they still welcoming the new day
The Beauty of nature
Is depreciating
Wind staunch;
Flora Die;
Fauna Die;
Water Dry.
Now it turns to hell
No longer welcoming the new day,
The beauty of nature
Will disappear forever.

I awoke to a very pleasant surprise this morning. A gifted young artist Jolenesiah author of Jolenesiah’s World inquired as to whether or not I would like to read her poem for “Climate of Our Future”. I think you will all agree that Jeane Michelle Culp author of Binding Ink knows great poetry. Jeane sent [...]
Recently, CBS Evening News reported on Lake Superior’s sizeable drop in water level (see Lake Superior Feeling The Water Pinch). As the largest fresh water lake in the world, such a drastic change is having a huge impact both economically and environmentally.
The northernmost Great Lake has 1800 miles of coastline, and is currently 18 [...]
Water drops
by Francis Scudellari
Water drops
le(a)d into water
falling
Down, sinks to/o
burdened seas, un-told
seeing
One half, weighed
when whole, a world to/o
having
Oceans stretched
to/in-capac’ty
filling
Carbon fed
(s)mothers life on life
feeding
Un-linked, chains
broken, an(d) un-known
knowing
When un-loosed
up, lost, our own un-
doing

What do you say about a gifted author who so genuinely gives of himself? Someone who you can count on, no matter what the request? Francis Scudellari, or Franscud as we in the community have known to call him, is just that sort of person. I admire his work greatly, and had a special request [...]
