Take a run through the forest, or swim in the depths. Breathe in the heart of nature as you scamper with the animals, daydream of springtime, and linger beneath the waterfall's splash. Plunge into the refreshing waters of the river, or curl up with a cuppa tea and good book in the garden where birds and ladybugs play. The wonders and healing calm of nature await in the pages of our Breath of Nature Poetry Special.

tides as if a block of wax
was warmed and spread
out to the horizon.

as I drive the boys home from school:
His legs like violin bows folded,
black drupelet eyes alert, antennae erect.
