Best Avocado Tree Poems

A nut-brown squirrel wore his smile in a curl,
such a clever one was he.

He ate nuts and fruit in his nut-brown suit
in my avocado tree.

He gave me such lip, and never did tip,
and ate my harvest for free....

You fell in October, like autumn leaves
Funny it was a hot day.
The avocado tree was budding.
I knew you only a short while,
But it broke me to see your mother cry.
She was inconsolable.
And I thought I was strong,
But my tears could not be kept at bay.

Papa sat there, quiet, 
Reading his books
Never raised his voice 
Or give you nasty looks

He just read his books 
On metaphysics and inner self
Books I have not seen 
On any library shelf

One day my friend and I decided 
To steal mangos from the neighbour’s tree
When...

Birds chirping roughly on an avocado tree
I curiously look upwards to see what could that noise be? 
Is it a sparrow or a mockingbird? 
It's plump and it has all shades of brown

I'm stepping upwards next to the spiraling, gnarled tree before me
The chirping has stopped this...

Clearing Out Old Growth
 
Last week I cleared some old growth, ‘parting’ (1) planted in my yard,
An Avocado tree you’d grown from ‘pit’ of eaten fruit.

(Which leads to stunted growth) though I felt watered by...

Why come now?

In the midst of such a challenging time
Why’d you have to drop this dime
Rain comes-a-fallin’
While the sun I was-a-callin’

An unexpected winter shiver
Will this pass
Like a car on the highway
Or will it grow
Like...

that was a rough day
with their aggressive cars
heavy sky of electrical threats
I came back scared from these thorny streets
I need friendly things
through the crack in the window 
I saw the static grandeur
of the avocado tree that reigns quietly near here
he watches indifferently as the days...

Resting alone,with a free mind;
I breathe,I relax;
Under this avocado tree,I sit;
To take shelter from this scorching sun.
In the time to come, which I'm not certain about,
Under the same tree in a different location,
For a different reason,breathless and lifeless,
I shall lay as I rest alone.

It has...
