I love nature, in two places! South Lebanon, specifically in my moms village where I find serenity, and in your poems Larry, almost grabbing Gods perfection in your words..another front page worthy...if we have worthy judges!

Nominated too

These are my fav of fav stanzas,,,awesome amazing poem once again I loved it 5/5

Twin swirls of silver beauty
flash pleasurably in the pool below;
redwoods taller than buildings
open a soaring cylinder of sunlight
dappling the submerged salmon.

Not bears, nor humans nor cataracts
kept them from stranger's embrace
at this arboreal grotto altar
fulfilling ancient obligation
to the species, to perish contented.

At the natural end of their journeys,
their lives, their share in the cycle,
spawning hope for new life
as they spiral around each other
in graceful yin and yang.
