One side of a small fork
On an elongated stone chair
The day goes by
petals
broken branches
defoliation
Snowflakes
Contending with the wind and the clouds
sometimes
Families with sore hind leg
Sit around it
spend one afternoon
Everyone's
stone chair remains and is carved
It's just years.

leaves fall with the wind
normal defoliation

with each breath I invite inner peace
approaching with meditative intent
manicure scissors in one hand
zenlike harmony in my heart
a passion for recreating micro landscapes
it’s a labor of love aesthetics and patience
defoliation wiring clamping and grafting
tapering shaping with explicit precision
twisted branches gnarly roots
graceful symptoms of ageing
pruning windswept replicas
of effortless poetry in motion

POETRY FOR POETS
(wrote itself without my consent- edition)
You know when you start a poem with a specific idea of how it will look and read. Then as the words flow onto the page the poem takes on it's own life and meaning. Well this is one of those, a poem that wrote itself, I'm sure not going to claim responsibility for it, it's not funny at all!
Poetry
more organic than fertilizer
rooted in the **** of life
manure
flourishes
with moderate watering
but grows ragged and wild
intoxication
withers
with chemical pesticides
intended to eliminate the competition
defoliation
Poetry
more organic than fertilizer
lovingly tendered by life
blossoms
