Best Orchard Poems

She's untouched fruit
from forbidden orchards
barren and wrinkled
with fragmented twigs,
whirling to the beat
of melancholic musings 
of black-winged butterflies 
that croon and reflect
the true tragedy of a queen
waiting for the 
return of her king.

Beneath splitting dusks,
above wicked woodlands 
of weathered grim dreams,
personified pomegranate seeds
drip in sangria sins...

Orchard’s earthy mossy trails
Gray-brown bark like dragon scales
Crooked branches stretch to hold
Tender almonds encased in fuzzy fold

Leafy clusters filter sun
And dapple grasses newly spun
Bathed in tepid valley air
Rich soil echoes memories long grown there

Perfect crisscrossing rows align
Green canopy woven into tapestry fine
Nurtured seasons; pollinating swarms
Bare...

The sky scatters pixie dust~
across orchards of dragonflies;
while in sunflowers, the stars do trust,
tracing tales through kohl-lit eyes. 
A fairy cloaked in soft florals~
fragranced moon-mists and rhinestone rust.
But within veins of golden corals,
she weaves hope with saffron crust.  ...

My heart,
An arid land was
Unamble a single feeling to produce
Till that Valentine's day
When
Into my life, she walked,

And

With her kind words
Her soft caresses
Her moistening kisses,
Succeded in turning it
Into a plentiful orchard of 
Love!

When the orchard grows deeply lush
filling all rows with grapes
etched by dusk like a bold paintbrush,
I trace its outline’s silhouette
and rove along this patch
Where quarter moon draws a vignette
as leafage unfurl like coiled frills
showing off plump of red …
fruits ripe turned into wine on mills
nectar...

        Black boxes atop a vintage shelf
            adorned with dust of opinions groan.

By faith we understand that the universe was ordered by the word of God.
Hebrews 11:3

Oh loving God.
You gifted us with a wonderful earth,
An orchard enthralled with delicious fruit,
Tame animals of all kinds,
And birds rare and colorful swirling above,
Whilst all around fragrance 
Add a sense of...

Tend Thy Orchard, Its Bad Limbs Prune

Shall thee let hope hold firmest sway,
Live life well now, without delay;
Enjoy the beach and its cool nights
Walk under moon's soft beaming lights.
Remember sorrow comes with grey,
Relief shall come if one but prays:
Yet thy heart must seek, stay in...

When in marriage, life together just begun
       Planned on adding to this wordly estate
Planting an orchard was so much fun
       Foreseeing years of luscious fruit on plate

But all things of this world cycle

"Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." Rumi 

She sits near the peach orchard
Waits to take love's calloused hand
Autumn's leaves are nearly gone
Winter's cold wind on life lands

Young Timmy saw Jim walking down the street.  Timmy considered a quick retreat, but steadied himself with a shrug.  Timmy dreaded the sight of Jim, a teenage bully and wanna be thug, who always picked on him.  Jim grew close and sure...

On a hike one day, I came upon a wild orchard,
ripe with lush fruit and I thought it was a mirage;
green apples, oranges, peaches and pears,
all grew in this fantastic place;
nectarines, plums, cherries and blueberries,
invited me to  l i n g e r ...

Dear Mother, 

Happy Birthday, Mom. 
All your children are here today..
to celebrate your exemplary life! 
What a turbulent but amazing journey it was, Mommy! 

You grew up in a beautiful lush tea-garden,
entwined by luxuriant greenery, foliage and flowers, 
on top of a hill, prancing and frolicking among pineapple orchards, 
caressing domestic animals,...
