Notes About The Poem
An Ode form, with stanzas of quintets, that contains imagery, personification, alliteration, hyperbole, metaphor, simile, rhyme, symbolism and onomatopoeia. I consider this poem an artwork of nature piece. Also like an epic narrative write. I recently revised the poem again. The poem has a classical theme; yet a completely, newly unique inspired creative write. It is both educational, scientific and very contemporary. An Ode form, with 14 stanzas of quintet vignette. These are beautiful quality poetic stanzas for your enjoyment. Amen
Ode To a Tree - Synopsis - Epic
I.
Espy, distinguish divinely made lively, lovely Trees
Unisex Trees, inhales carbon dioxide, then breathes
out for us humans, life given clean oxygen
Stout roots run deep, holding God's earth
Also, with you we were taught our first lesson
II.
Animals take shelter upon your strong limbs
The squirrels, birds, hornets and bees, nest;
while robins, monkeys, leopards, sloths and
sparrows repose taking their mid-afternoon rest
A linked caterpillar metamorphosis into a "beautiful butterfly"
III.
Mankind uses are the firewood, fences and picture frames
Furniture from the oak, cherry and mahogany are made:
these into chairs for seating and escritoire desks for reading
Cedars carved into chest cabinets are for clothing compartments
Lovely log cabins houses are made for lovely family home abode
IV.
Maple Tree saps are so sensuous sumptuous and sweet,
do disseminate it heartily on your pancakes when you eat
Shields of shade: spread out for the weary and needy
Upon paper writes of love songs and poetry
Including writes like our first ten-page article
V.
Nutritious Tree fruits are the apples, mangoes, peaches
Yet, certain leaves make for sweet ice-tea
This is to be drunk in the middle of high heat
Thus, saturating our mortal human thirsty needs
Refreshing rain-forest water drunk with a big green leaf
VI.
Medical medications are in particular Trees
Aspirins are derived from the Willow's bark
Red Stinkwood trees a multiplicity of cures
One is for mild benign prostatic hyperplasia
Soap-berries fruit plucked are nature's natural clean
VII.
Circular rings, are the past times etched therein
A garden sculpture of arbors arrayed, beautifully displayed
Ornamentals artworks pieces called art Topiary
A lovely couple do circle heart engrave their names on a Tree
Youngsters in a tree-house hoots sounds of joyful merriment
VIII.
An alignment of Trees straight does stop soil wind erosion
This makes for a strong sturdy, plant protection
Desist worldwide Trees deforestation devastation
They are a beautiful natural land conservation
With an abundance of arbors we built many pier ports harbors
IX.
Cast a sail upon a sturdy Tree; then sail the mighty seas
Lacrosse sticks are jousting at Lacrosse games
Wooden baseball bats are banging at beautiful ballparks
Cricket Bowlers attempt to strike at wooden wickets
A Child wields a yellow pencil at school and does exceed
X.
Treasure troves and teammates; symbiosis are lovely Trees
Nature's natural emerald green, to be loved and gleaned
Plant a Tree seed in the ground and cultivate it
See it grow like tall magical beanstalk beans
Be like a Tree, extend towards golden bright sunbeams
XI.
If, you could be a Tree, what kind of Tree would you be? An
ash, aspen, apple, beech, birch, cherry, chestnut, cedar, coconut,
cottonwood, elm, fig, hawthorn, hickory, larch, maple, mango, oak,
palm, pine, pear, redwood, spruce, sycamore, walnut, willow
Characteristics are easily seen; of these “Mighty Trees"
XII.
In being an evergreen Tree, I would always be green
This in all seasons and in every variant weather condition
Bearing the Winter’s cold snows and Fall’s harsh winds blown
Deciduous, are the fruit Trees like the peach, berry and orange
“Trees are benevolent givers;" Enjoy them in the fields, parks or gardens
XIII.
Magnificent, and robust are Trees, hopefully one is nearby thee
Parallel stories of Life can be seen in many a hardy Tree
Hope is seen, inspired by every budding bearing fruitful Tree
If a Tree writes, “what would it might write I believe,”
this “recognize, care and do appreciate me"
XIV.
Bible, speaks of a future certain hope, “I would like to state,”
this of a Heavenly Tree, which is the “Tree of life”
For to eat of it would be with much gratitude and glee
It bearing twelve kinds of delicious fruits each month
Leaves, are for the healing of all the nations "that is we"
