The Phi of Pines

From trunk to limb to branch to twig
The houses we build 
The beatle who kills
My favorite shelf
Stacked each one smaller
Vanishing towards heaven
The needles on the ground 
Scented perfection
Swaying in the breeze

Standing with you while reading in majesty of golden triangular tree. A very stilling tribute to the importance of our pine forests.

Oh wow!... I just read this! Amazing work. Signature you.... So deep in so brief a form. Fabulous for induction of broad swathes of people throughout society who may view poetry as stodgy, haughty etc.
