Poetry is awesome. Nature is awesome. Nature and poetry? Absolute perfection.

1. "Come Back To Tell Us" -- Matthew Thorburn

"I try to imagine
they’re messengers
come back to tell us
their stories, any news
of the lost or what
comes next, though
if they could say
anything, they would
probably say, 'Go away.'"

2. "Dust of Snow" -- Robert Frost

"The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree"

3. "Remember" -- Joy Harjo

"Remember you are this universe and this
universe is you."

4. "Patience Taught By Nature" -- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"And still the generations of the birds
Sing through our sighing, and the flocks and herds
Serenely live while we are keeping strife..."

"Come away, come to the peaceful wood,
Here bathe your soul in silence."

6. "The Supple Deer " -- Jane Hirshfield

"I don’t know how a stag turns
into a stream, an arc of water.
I have never felt such accurate envy."

7. "maggie and milly and molly and may" -- E. E. Cummings

"For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea"

8. "A Sunset" -- Ari Banias

"Sunset the word holds more than a photo could."

9. "Looking At A Mountain Range — While Listening To A Mozart Piano Concerto" -- Robert Pack

"Although I cannot see the dark beyond
my mountain's dark, I'll not leave love to chance"

And, of course:

10. "The Road Not Taken" -- Robert Frost

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
