Best Seedling Poems

I don't need very much to stay alive,
a little urban rain from time to time.
It's not luxurious, here in the ground,
but I'm content with it, this life of mine.

There's not a lot for me to view from here;
the iron forest always sees to that.
It must...

The other day, strolling along a rushing mountain stream,
Upon the carpeted forest floor I saw a golden beam.
It shown upon a blue spruce seedling only inches high.
I tarried to contemplate its future, resting upon a stone nearby.

Will you grow up to become a family's Christmas...

Biding, Burrowing.
Building, breaching, burgeoning...
Breathing--         BLOSSOMING!...

A tiny seed deep in the Earth
starving for the light
Pushing hard against the soil
one day springs to life

Looking like a fragile twig
not knowing where to go
Standing still for all the world 
will soon, put on a show........

Drifting languid, light 
upon the damp breeze,
the seeds of milk weed fairy fly
upon the aching air.
Snow white, weightless, dancers
skirts upturned before the coarser green
of velvet lawn they flee.
Backlit as virgin lovers 
upon the meadow’s spawn.
The castle walls dare not belay
the upward loft with daunting gray...

You were under the dirt so deep that you didn't even know that you were there.

After many days and nights of rain you still did not appear.

One morning the sun came and warmed you and you began to sprout.

Seven mornings later you poked our needles...

In a florid month of May
I trod a field one sunny day
All is alluring- yes I can say
Draped with flowers along its way.

And in the verdant field I see
Every man with its tree
But lo, one sapling was left behind
With no one with but loneliness entwined.

Poor...

At first, it was merely a seedling of hope,
struggling hard to cope.

And yet, it felt new,
as it slowly grew.

People proved they cared
how older folks fared.

The right questions asked,
their tears were unmasked.

Wash your hands with soap
truth's a safety rope,
at first, it was merely a seedling of...

           Its only a dream
           a little tiny green sprout

The apple of your eye?
That compliment is dead.
Instead, you left me dry,
Through cored-out tears I shed.
And now the cage I call my heart,
Or perhaps a fortress, rather
Cold and in the darkness now,
For this I thank you, Father....

Bloom ye flower
Oh seed planted by my gene
Spread forth thy petals
Embracing the rays of aspiration and hope
The triumphs and failures
That may buffet against thee
Only nourish the soil
Which shall strengthen thy foundation
Feeding thy soul
Thereby magnifying thy beauty
Thy love will inhale

I pray thou will not fade nor...

Given love and hope and warmth and light
The seedling can begin its fight
Defy the elements trying to survive
Trying so hard despite its short time alive
Your love and hope and warmth and light
Is all that gets me through the night
I would surrender without you by my...

I held in my hand a little seed.
It was so small and yet had so much potential.
I gently placed it in some soft fertile soil.
I covered it over and looked in awe.
Every day I tended to it,
watched for the first sign of life.
I was rewarded...

The seed is planted deep
Down within the moist soil
Slowly the seed cracks open
Allowing roots to form and uncoil

Reaching as far as it can
up towards our father sky
instinctively seeds do this,
But, I cannot tell you why

Growing, up through the earth
the new seedlings climb
Yearning for the Sunshine’s...
