The Yellow View

Looking out my window
The ginko in plain view
Daily changes seen, wow
Like a new born's coo

The leaves yellow start
With just a very few
Then slowly more impart
Until lime green and yellow debut

Soon the whole tree
Will endrenched yellow be
Sunshine in my yard for free
Even some leaves for tea

Soon the leaves will leave
As does the baby's coo
Bare limbs look dead, grieve
But miracles are in brew

Spring will come with buds
The baby now says words
Life has done one cycle
The others will just be heard

Lovely poem, a beautiful view you seem to have from your window. I've never heard of this tree ginko. You make tea from the leaves. Where was it you said you live?Sincerely, Love, Moses

Ginko Bilboa has the most unusual leaves. I have always wanted one, but couldn't get it rooted. This is a lovely poem. Do you have a female tree? I've heard that you need two for the fruit. AND THE FRUIT STINKS!!! Is that true? Just wondering. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. Send links to our Thanksgiving poem to family and friends, if you want to. You may also send my Cornucopia and Pumpkin poem, too. (Reposted) xoxox Lovingly, Dane Ann

Aren't trees just awesome! Very well written poem with very beautiful imagery. Amazing cause I just posted a poem about trees too. I often see on this site poems pertaining a similar theme around the same time they are posted. I think that is quite significant, don't you? Thanks for sharing and thank you for your ongoing great reviews on my poems. Happy Thanksgiving Day to you and yours! Caroline.
