Oliver Comeau Poet Free verse

Trees

Strong but calm 
                                               Powerful and yet harmless
                One of the most grateful being in this world, beautiful by the naked eye 
               I have been seeing them every day and wanted to talk, but they are shy 
                                     They won’t betray you, they won’t lie 
                      They smile in the night, laugh in the sun, dance in the rain 
                                                         They are trees.

Carol Sunshine Brown July 6, 2011 at 7:05 AM I am enjoying reading the very diverse poetry here this morning in my Soupland. Words pouring onto paper from poets souls. What a joy to be able to sit and read such wonderful poetry for awhile today. Have a very good day Oliver. Love, Carol

Nancy Jones July 5, 2011 at 11:12 PM Nice sentiment... if I may paraphrase... Powerful, harmless Grateful in the world, beautiful in the eye shy... too shy to betray, too shy to lie dark smiles, bright laughs, wet dances trees.
