Best Birch Poems

Across horizons
From skies to Earth

Serenading within
Ancient wood

Enduring blossoms
Whisper abound

Time is trivial  
Sunlight reigns

To time everlasting 
Resonating life

A fullness of peace
In silence of shadows

A symbiotic citadel
Life undisturbed...

Steel Gray skies with threatening rain and restless wind
My breath gathers as mist on the inside of the window pane
...as I watched for the school bus

A slender birch tree with spiral scars 
of flayed bark against its white skin
like curlicues of sharpened pencil shavings

Still clutching...

Sycamores certainly speak French, cypresses - ancient Greek, the Old Testament's olives are bilingual: they speak Hebrew and Aramaic. Birch is a Russian tree though growing in Canada. So small and frail (they wither abroad), already gone into a winter trance, she is silent but...

A BIRCH TREE'S CONFIDENCE

A young tree stands tall
Rooted to the woodland floor
Thinks itself immune
To all the struggles in store
As ignorant as a child

THE WEEPING WILLOW'S LAMENT

In the end, all trees
Must surrender to decay
Seep into the dirt
Shut their eyes and slip away
It’s a fate none can...

Birkenrinde / Birch Bark / Corteza de abedul   (Haiku)

Die Birkenrinde
Wie hell sie so schön erstrahlt
Im hellen Lichtschein


The bark of birches
Shines so beautifully bright
In clear sunlight 


Corteza de abedules
Tan maravillosamente brilla
En clara luz del sol...

Outside my window
birch tree in the summer sun

White-covered ground.
 Frozen all around.

Twenty feet tall white birch trees.
The only snow I see all around.

Yes, that's where he took me.
I begged as he said get down.

Get down on your knees.
I said please, I'm begging you, please.

He said I'm doing it to you.
What they done...

Birke/Birch/Abedul

Im  sanften  Abendlicht
Wehen die Blätter der Birke
Goldfähnchen im Wind 



In soft evening light
The leaves of the birch flutter
Golden banners in the wind 



En suave luz de la tarde
Ondean las hojas del abedul
Banderitas de oro en el viento

The Birch

We’re hailed by changes of weather always
Pouring, wind, rain, gale and hurricane
Our dried barks and twigs easily departs
When they lavishly attack in season
Enchanting imbibe of full moon lights
We play with millions twinkling stars
Cloud travels vigilantly surrounding us
Flurry movement with smiling joyous
Various birds and sparrows...

Tall, slender, supermodel tree,
elegant trunk dappled silvery milk.
Waif-like leaves dance in the breeze, 
flirt and flutter,  a skirt of silk. 

Arms reach skyward, lean and long,
slim limbs  covering sylph-like form.
Sinewy shoulders,  but still strong,
stoop and sway in the surging storm. 

Birds, taking...

On the dry bed of old Birch Creek lay bones
Of deer picked clean by buzzards these stones
Forged a path for a thousand dances of the Sun
They came here for me I am the one
The last of my band to make my home
On the dry bed...

Birch in a new dress, 

Her tender hair is so fine! 

Winter is distant....

white keys of birch trees 
black keys of spruces and pines - 
music of twilight
