Carole Duet Poet Prose Poetry

I Love Trees

I love trees.
The way they shade us in the summer,
The way they bend in the breeze,
Their lovely green leaves in Spring,
Their golden, red and brown display in the Fall,
The way they hold the snow in Winter,
The wood they provide for my home, my hearth, 
  and my rocking chair.
I love the way they clean the air  
  and the paper they provide for me to write on.
Yes, I am a Tree-Hugger.
I love trees.

John Mudge October 1, 2016 at 1:34 PM i forgot to rate your poem. Also, pardon that last somewhat garbled post. I am using Dragon and did not proofread my work!

John Mudge October 1, 2016 at 1:21 PM Carole, I have been reading through your poetry. So far I have been enjoyed your poetry, but this humble poem is my favorite so far. Love it. Carole Duet October 29, 2016 at 8:57 PM Hello John...and thank you for your lovely comment on "I Love Trees". Sorry but I just saw it. So glad you liked it. :)

Cona Adams August 16, 2016 at 8:06 AM i, too am a lover of trees. Actually, the only poem I committed to memory as a child, was "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer. I wrote a poem to him as a salute, titled "Oh, Joyce." And, of course, have used trees as a subject in many others. Thanks for this. Carole Duet October 29, 2016 at 8:58 PM Thank you, Cona. I just saw your comment on "I Love Trees". So glad you liked it. Carole

Reason A. Poteet July 29, 2016 at 4:05 PM I like this even lines 7-8 and 10 which define basic purposes for trees in death. Nothing on this earth will exist forever, excepting human beings who are eternal in spirit. Great clear cut writing. Carole Duet October 29, 2016 at 9:00 PM Hi Reason! Just saw your comment on "I Love Trees". So glad you liked it. Thank you. Carole
