L Milton Hankins Poet List

Trees

Maple, oak and piney TREES
Bonsai-trimmed tiny TREES
Those gigantic redwood TREES
My front yard flowering dogwood TREES.

Wetland, dry-land chestnut TREES
Prolific English walnut TREES
Mine timber TREES
Solid and limber TREES.

Hunting-stand and swarming bee TREES
Southern swamp cypress knee TREES
Damaged by hail TREES
Marking a trail TREES.

Weeping Willow TREES
Sugar maple syrup TREES
Hat-hanging foyer hall TREES
And, most important, prayer TREES.
