Best Palm Tree Poems

A tall branchless trunk,
With lush, palmate sun-kissed leaves:
Tropical beauty....

Stiff pleated fronds in concert rise
to wax under the April sun 
and trill their canticles begun
in verses jade that they comprise.

Chartreuse of thorny branches splay
a tumult to belie the grace
that on display they interlace
like rose stems on a breezeless day.

Atop the thatched denuded bole
gush fountains...

sitting in the shade of a palm tree 
came here seeking for answers 
from modern cities,I flee 
to the bosom of my ancestors  
up to the blue bed,rising my dusted eye 
on the horizon to the west 
to the shining sun where it lie...

Palm trees and wind dance,
a breezy sensuous waltz;
They sway with the tide....

My Love Is a Palm-Tree 

			Who’s she?
		A palm-tree lofty head to which the morning sun
first pays homage 
before it falls 
on earthly faces;

Who’s she?
A palm-tree shapely bosom where overnight dew
into manna grows;

Who’s she?
Twain palm-tree open palms 
grace-fully fanned 
for a homely hug;

Who’s she?
A palm-tree whose...

We had fought and won
The internecine war;
The foreigners had demarcated
Their spoils on our land
But our spirit of struggle
Our thirst for freedom-
Kept burning within our hearts.

Our vow and determination
To recapture our terre
To tender our palm tree-
These, too, kept burning
With rage and vengeance!
Our thoughts no longer hazy
Our...

THE PALM TREE

Sadly, my time on Earth is coming to an end
Where I’ve witnessed all human’s wonders and all their dirt;
Cried for the dying and rejoiced for every new birth,
Watched greed rule over what should have been shared
Strongly fought all winds and stood unimpaired.

Change your...

Song of The Palm Tree 

  The palm tree at the beach
Blossoms by enjoying the water
Supplied by the sea
Its wing - like fronds dances
To the rhythm of music
Played by the breeze
While it hopes to reach the sky...

Friendship: Just Like a Palm Tree 


By Izunna Okafor


From the crusts of lonely loams
It gently roots inner and outer
And softly pullulates harder and taller
To register its purpose to mankind.

Like the trunk, the bond glues harder
To the closely open hearts of soil
Who signed for mutual reciprocation.

Its...

Not fitting in her own clothes,
She was considered small.
Old as she was,
Her voice was loud and strong.

Big eyes and curly hair,
She disliked or maybe,
Never cared.

She hid behind lies,
Afraid to be found out,
That her life,
She began to doubt.

Small house,
A torn father,
A quiet mother,
And a sister,
Who had...

Scents of burnt embers flowing over my windowsills
Charred are the palm tree fronds that
once fanned the breeze 
Seized are the pods, timbers     
Torches sparking  shrills

Behold the ashes drifting 
as they fall from my smoke-sooted skies
O but in b 'tween choking...
