Best Acorn Poems

Stay - One more golden morning –
Linger - One more silver night –
Abide tiny child born of my desire
To encourage a new life;
Watch with me the amber moon
Peek through moonbeams rising up so large
We could touch it's creamsicle face -
Sleep caressed within the shelter of...

People amble by in view of the placid lake
Mesmerized by horizon adorning scarlet
While not far from the Oak tree, I stealthily lay
Enthralled in musical repertoire of Blue Jays
As squirrels run wild in a purposeful race
And searching for food woodpeckers peck.

Trust me when I...

Year of the Acorn
(For my Father who

Alzheimer's)

Out on a winter walk
one day
you solemnly put an
acorn into my hand.
Something in my head
whispered
"Keep it safe
and he'll be safe".
I kept it to this
day.

Year one.
One candle on my
cake,
burned into my
mind's eye forever.
You took a
photograph
to keep...

I shiver beneath a frozen sky of milky gray and white  
and like a little rabbit whos barely grown into his coat 
I linger in the forest bristling like a dry piece of wood 

I was detached from my father like a youngling discomfit

I plead for my brothers and sisters
The seasonal wind blows them away,
Observe the furry urchins gather them
One by one another’s life to save.

What story should I tell?
This is the tale of how the lonely acorn fell
 far from where the mighty oak had stood
 cut by the hands of man, felled for its wood.

The mother-father tree lay across the laid bare land
 cut down in the forest...

As I was headed home, a squirrel
Passed me going south.
I noticed him because he had
An acorn in his mouth.

Since winter’s not approaching,
I am curious to know
If squirrels still amass a stash
For when supplies run low.

Or was that nut for dinner
From his daily market run?
Or a...

Acorn brownie is unstoppable
Twirling and whirling in piles of leaves
Showing off for squirrel keeper fairy
Mythical dynamo coming to life

Twirling and whirling in piles of leaves
Cool breeze adding to his ambiance
Mythical dynamo coming to life
Stirring up October winds in forest

Cool breeze adding to his ambiance

Neither baseball nor soccer,
Nor rod or reel would do,
For the pastime,
That would appeal to you.

Music and education,
Would be your call,
Your talent and tenacity,
Equipped you to have it all.

You were a young inquisitive acorn,
Who has blossomed into a woman self-made.
Bathing your mother and me,
In the caress...
