Best Deciduous Poems

My springtime blood did flow a river’s rush  
in stream bed’s cradle anchored to the land  
as dreams rode jet streams to the cirrus strand.
I grew beneath the nimbus, thunder-lush
but autumn’s dry-leaf-drought did bring a hush…
though soul, a snowy owl, not stuck in...

I have shed the foliage of youth
Grown taller
                     …sunk my roots
              ...

Dancing breezes
Bursts of sun
Crisp apple autumn day

Leaves twirl upwards with a flourish
Spurning twigs that yearn to cling

Lovers pass by, their laughter lingers
Dark clouds obscure the sun
Colors change to shadows blurred

Gone is the beauty in the rust and gold
Longing is found in the chill as the...

A tiny, glowing, wing-ed creature flies
to homes around the world in every land
compelled to take each tooth we lose and then, 
to sneak a coin to sleepers whilst they sigh
as wispy whistles whoosh from holes inside
and taking the milk teeth we lose as planned
when growing...

Once newly shaped, when buds do open up.
Unfurling sense, one’s eyes of Spring arise.
A mother-oak, her branches grasp bird-cries.
The leaves ring bell, the beaks do come to sup
And sip, foliage turns into a cup.
The soar-uplift of the branches - owls, wise.
The nestled memories, these are...

Deciduous

Artic flares beat upon my dark cocoon
I come in silence to hide from the dark
To bind my wounds with sunlit afternoons
Wrapping my pain with loneliness, so stark,
In isolation like a sinful moon
Spinning silken petals, a newborn ark
Whiplashed by regret’s compulsive rune
And bear the weight...

Oh how I rue this deciduous time;
relentless in it’s passing year by year
while robbing memories we hold so dear,
and shedding yonker that was once our prime.
Through time we plod this monumental climb;
the cliffs of life we grapple fighting fear
while ever facing time’s relentless jeer
as youth...

Bare limbs shivering
In January’s chilled wind
Deciduous trees...

in a forest
a deciduous tree with an immortal spirit
germinated in a foreign flora
while surrounded by evergreens

it came from another land
where deforestation is the norm
from a world of destruction
and death

after many years
this deciduous tree became robust and admirable
its trunk sturdy, its branches stout
with its green wide...

Autumn's chilling tides
warm colors shroud heart
each molting cloak hides
degenerating part...

The maple, beech, the willow, ash and oak - 
abundant are the trees that shed their leaves,
and in the spring, the goddess Flora weaves
her magic, vanishing cold winter’s cloak.
Sometimes the roots of shade trees need a soak.
A tree in drought most gratefully receives
the summer rains....

Deciduous 

At a private party one rusting noon,
Green elm trees reveled with summer on its bier,
Gaily rousing a drowsy lagoon.
Some bathed their beak-scarred barks, those on the pier
Appeared to beckon birds come for songful fun;
For this they from the grave forest did run.

But soon their...

With autumn's bracing breath, the green leaves fade,
Their vibrant hues decay to muted gold.
Trees weep, as the end of season foretold,
Shedding their brown waste into green leaves frayed.
Each leaf, once green, a memory fade made,
Now tumbles, gliding down, to earth's dirt fold,
Gathering to form autumn...

I ponder, lying pale upon my bed;
my head a 'roaring deep in notions... whys.
My thinking moves to plans for my demise
with comfort from my Lord in what He said -
  I go to build your palace overhead;
  just keep believing, death will loose...

A beauty with love
A beauty with obsession
A beauty with life

Lavender flowers
White, pink, purple, mauve also
Perfect bliss in mind

Deciduous vine
Symbolizing obsession
Add colours in our mind

With lightly scented
Bath in strong sunlight
With poisonous seed

True bliss of nature
Perfect ornamentation
A solace of mind

Stunner of nature
Enchanting to heavy eyes
Gift of our...
