Joseph P. DiMino Poet Personification

I Am A Tree's Tree

I am a Tree, living historian of weather 
record. Grandfather of colonial bridges 
and homes.  A giggle, you can hear us 
when in the breeze apt to tease, fondly
tickle one another. Poetic: To Tree or not 
to Tree?  So content to be what we are -- 
man's utilitarian, your selfless furnisher 
of shade and warmth. No matter Strong 
Oak or mangy willow.  What I answer to 
is Proud Fellow, member of the Ever-wood.

All This is in lockstep with the d e i and woke agendas that entwine with fachist/communist ideaologies..Maybe Others can't see.? Yet to me its plain enough.' All blessings Joe Dimino.) Joseph P. DiMino October 25, 2025 at 11:58 AM Whatever is good, the Devil can, an will, try to usurp, distort to mislead and control humanity. Unfortunately, humanity is lazy and self centered. Whatever works for the moment...regardless of consequences. Thank you, Joe. Great comment!

Gershon Wolf September 27, 2025 at 8:28 PM I see I've been barkin' up the wrong tree for way too long. ~ Dagwood -- or is it 'Dogwood?' Joseph P. DiMino September 28, 2025 at 6:19 AM It depends: are we talking about watering, celebrating trees...or just marking territory? I wonder how many here actually remember those wonderful old comics. Thank you, Gershon. Have a great weekend my friend!

Paula Goldsmith September 26, 2025 at 11:30 AM I enjoyed reading your creative tree write. Love your line, "Poetic: To Tree or not to Tree?"~"Good Luck" from the coconut tree. Have a fun day writing away......... Joseph P. DiMino September 27, 2025 at 10:08 AM To Tree Or Not To Tree? What the heck. Everything should be proud of what they are. I don't think God would bother creating things that weren't special to Him.
