Wisdom From Trees

Finding myself lost in dream deep forest I was overwhelmed by tall tender trees Their lush canopies are comforts for rest Nesting birds bask in shafts of sunshine-kiss Seated on grass by deciduous leaves I heard trees-- melodiously whispering Sharing great wisdom for me to believe Then, rendered song with wind’s joyful singing... “We’re trees, the precious treasures of this earth We provide shelters, foods and furniture Protection for next generations’ birth From storms and floods…hugging the whole nature" "Trees are great hope to make your future bright Save them... God gives you good life in His light" May 25, 2022 9.25pm PS Syllable counter sonnet- 10/10/10/10-10/10/10/10 - 10/10/10/10 - 10/10 Wisdom from Trees Contest Judged: 5/28/2022 9:56:00 AM Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon Place 3 (up to 4 multi-w)

Hello my dear friend Darlene. Thank you so much for stopping by to read my latest poem. Yes, trees are very important especially now that we're experiencing global warming my dear friend. We should replace trees when cut or sick. Then we should not stop planting them. Thanks a lot for reading my poem. So much appreciated. Blessings to you always my dear. Hugs
