Best Trees Poems

the lullaby of butterflies hums
in the early morning air.

a rounded light of gold 
above the purple clouds 
spots a blue filtered peak.

trees unite as one in the constant drizzle of rain.
flowers wild, spill in colors hurried 
to fill barren ground.

mammals of every kind lay unseen,...

I've heard your whispers
in quiet moments 
amongst the shedding trees of Autumn..

I walk alone our wooded path – listening
the air just as crisp as a bright-blushed Winesap 
but my tears not as sweet – glistening

the wispy whispers haunting
taunting in their gentle tug
and I wonder; how...

A path strewn thick with ruddy-faced leaves
led to nowhere and everywhere in fantasies, 
our near-death rescue from boredom 
        come afternoon chores and homework pages

Nestling in my realm, as you host a daydream,
Reveling in breeze of my splendor evergreen,
I welcome you to my domain of rhythmic trills
Where roam the blue jays, robins, and crossbills
Feeding on berries, frolicking with hatchlings,
Singing gaily, serenading benevolent sanctuary
Amid bears’ huff, growl, and foxes’ feral-howl
Sheltered...

I know the land where the lemon-trees flower.
My love met me near them, to linger an hour.
I kissed him, I hugged him and smelled the sweet scent,
And prayed it stayed with him, wherever he went.
The day was so perfect, the skies were so blue.
The fragrance...

The Land Where the Lemon-Trees Flower

I know the land where the lemon-trees flower,
where citrus fragrance lingers after a summer shower.
In sun-sweetened India, lemon-trees radiantly bloom,
flourishing unfazed by tropical monsoon’s gloom. 

Glistening with dew drops, greeting each sunrise,
lemon-trees thrive beneath heaven's azure skies.

Exquisite five-petaled flowers of...

"Two Trees:  Mr. Oak And Mr. Bamboo"


A terrible wind storm was approaching and blowing everything out of it's path!
NOTHING....not one thing at all, could withstand it's awesome wrath!
Two trees saw this storm coming! YES!....it was coming their way!
One was Mr. Oak, the other Mr....

Enhanced by peaceful solitude, in twilight, crimson crowned
She stood in tensile grace, unmoved.  Enchantment in disguise
Lightly splashed by back light, where the tender grass had grown

A white tailed doe, was grazing there, aware and keen of eye
She perked up ears, alert for sound, yet,...

Trees

Trees, trees, everywhere, and no one stops to think
What we may lose as all mankind nears a crucial brink. 
When oaks and elms and other trees just simply cease to be,
Less Oxygen will be sent into the air we breathe.

Where will be the majesty of...

Seems as I age
My fondness for trees only grows
Their resilience and gracefulness
Their symmetry and beauty
Their arms outstretched heavenward
As if asking to be blessed with a nest for life
But it’s the way they bravely face each season
No fanfare just day by day
Making the most of their...

The tree that held the forbidden fruit
     Held our destiny within its root
 The ancient secrets that it kept
     May hold the tears that the willow wept

 The tree that holds  the robin's nest

The maracas of leafy trees
whisper rhythms to the wind,
a quiet song of December.

Four days---- left to go---
till the year ends,
and time spills forward,
its hands brushing past us,
softly, relentless.

You and I,
counting moments,
the weight of years
settling like dew-----light, inevitable
somethings are done, a lot many left undone 
but...

The leaves were changing as I walked my way, 
All different colors they were today.
I felt a calm presence I’ve felt before. 
A feeling of peace I couldn’t ignore.

Colorful leaves fell from the tall oak trees,
The flowers were alive with buzzing bees.
The life in nature...

 The mountains call out to the sun
Wherever you look, you will see me
Blanketed in emerald, azure and amber
Clothing worthy of a king’s wardrobe

The sun caresses the mountains
With a sensitive warming ambiance
Whispers of sweet, soothing, captivating
Love songs that keep tune with the breeze

The wind whistles...
