Greenery Abounding

Walking in the wood brings such pleasure
feasting upon all your eyes can see
the magnificence of the trees splendour
fir spruce oak so many kinds of tree

Walking around in the spacious wood
breathing in all that you're able to smell
the fresh air with the green flavour
such succulent smells all you can tell

Walking in the midst among these trees
touching the roughness of all this wood
there's a strength and firmness to stand tall
years of age this timber have stood

Walking among all the woodland bare
the birds of many kinds sing aloud
there's a sweetness come to your ears
awaken in morning to this lovely sound

Walking in many a wood bears fruit
in many parts of the world, they ripe
apple pears oranges to name a few
tasting a pleasure really whatever type!

Hi Gordon, this is the piece that does touch the heart of a tree lover. Your poem puts one in the center of the trees, in the heart of the living wood. Through your words I find today's peace. A wonderful write my friend. This has to be a fave. This one sings to me Gordon. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Your friend....Mike.
