Forests of Green Coniferous TreesForests of Green Coniferous Trees
Forests of evergreen conifers
(Fir, spruce, cedar, pine, and hemlock trees)
Keep their colour throughout the seasons
And don’t shed foliage in autumn.
Rooted in soil and basking in sunlight,
They grow on hillsides and in valleys,
Encircling rock outcrops, swamps, and leas,
And near rivers and lakes, and on islands.
These hearty trees endure nature’s throes
Of cold, harsh,...

Still Growing
raindrops falling
on roots that are unseen,
underneath the silence of stone,
every seed keeps on dreaming green maps—
a forest waits inside a single stem....

Green Dayswarm green days have come
and candy striped rainbow skies
buttercup surprise
bee visits red rose
near the house of gold treasure ~
sweet beyond measure
purple lilies please
through sparkling emerald days
or orange dusk rays
mornings minty fresh
yield to sage evening at last ~
and mauve mist forecast...

a land of dying sonnet in snail-pace schizoid Land of the Dying
they sometimes bake schnapps biscuits
then throw them to black cat eyeing
angels appear asking “what about fiscus ?”
they reply “we care not, passings near
roof leaks, grass not so glitter green
new shoots will bloom, Shangri-La we hear!”
“all acts account to day of goodbyes, clean
fix broken...

LeafletsFrom scent of earth, Longing to rise,
a sprout Emerges upward bound,
unfurling green, Admiring skies,
stretching Far without a sound.
Climbing, climbing up Ladders of blue,
the long vine Eagerly pushes through.
Budding leaflets Try to fly,
like the Seagulls sailing by.
The vine and leaflets are taller than tall...
until Jack gets his axe and makes it all fall.

In Stars AboveYou left this world a better place
Your soul is purest light solid gold
No longer concerned with human race
Up above beyond the earthly trolls
White wind blows in your gentle kiss
Butterfly wings remind me of you
In red heart it’s you we miss
As we sit staring at sky black or blue
In stars above you thrive my love
No lavender...

The Moonlight’s SecretWithin the thick rainforest’s living light,
where leaves shimmer with soft emerald light,
there lives a creature no one has seen,
Luminara, the secret of the night.
Its skin is like liquid moonlight,
cool and smooth, tracing patterns only the night knows.
Its wings unfold like glass petals,
translucent, catching every glimmer of the forest’s glow.
It moves without a sound,
a flicker of...

Juniper
Just an evergreen
Using its sheen,
Notably seen
In a pattern pristine,
Presenting a keen,
Earthy fragrance clean,
Releasing into air serene.

Old Weeping WillowOld weeping willow why do you cry
Your beauty is green leaves not blue
Your roots a pillow from which to thrive
As Mother Nature’s sun smiles on you
Many a kid has used your brown branches
To climb you or swing in your shadowy shade
Many a poet you inspire romantic antics
Carving heart in your bark or writing on page
Your...

green threadThe earth holds stories, secrets old trees keep, deep inside, it's true,
?My uncle's farm, where family wisdom feels so real, fresh and new.
?When soil I touch, old memories bloom, like whispers from a cozy room,
?A history carried by the wind, chasing every scary, chilling gloom.
Yet most days, I’m trapped, a pheonix in...

Far Far Away from the Madding CrowdUpon green hills where gentle breezes play,
A village wakes to greet the golden light.
No city horns disturb the break of day,
Just birds that sing and skies serenely bright.
The air is crisp, each breath a gift so pure,
With streams that babble secrets as they run.
Life moves in rhythms peaceful and demure,
Unhurried hours beneath the warming sun.
Fields...
