Tree Footle Poems

I like
my bike.

Riding, 
gliding, 

I view
sky blue

and see
grand tree.

Morn yields
corn fields -

Pasture
rapture;

Farm ploughs;
calm cows

lazing . . .
grazing

on grass
gone past.

Slow roam.
Go home....

Sun light
Burns bright

Rains down
Ants drown

Wind blows
Hat goes

Mud slide 
Stay inside

Hail sent
Car dent

Heavy snows 
Lawn froze

Frozen sleet
Slippery feet

Lightning flashes
Tree to ashes

Raging storm
Keep warm...

The Neighborhood
all trees
eyes please
The Neighbors
help out
act out
The Birds
they’re free
to flee
The House
barn red
homestead
The Driveway
steep high
blue sky
The Squirrels
mouse gray
spry play
The Tree
old bag
sights flag
The Flag
source-stripes
stars-hype
The Wind
whistles
bristles 
The Moss
green...

Mud season 
yucky mucky

Hummingbird in flight
zig jig

A flock of robins
swinging singing

New grass
sprout shout

Flying butterfly
flutter putter

Chipmunks at feeders
seed greed

Lilac trees
blooms perfumes

A bright goldfinch
yellow fellow

Tree branches

Soft snow
White glow

Christ's birth
Spreads mirth

Peace graced
Crib placed

Joy shared
Love flared

Lights on
Till dawn

We bake

Whoopee! 
Tall tree

Bring cheer

in Fall
birds call

each tree
set free

their leaves
Fall weaves

wind blows
rain flows

now snow 
aglow

Today
Hurrah!

Grass green
is seen.

Warm breeze
wafts trees.

Each tree
pretty.

Plum’s hue
I view.

My Pear*
is fair -

Sweet sight
in white.

Each thing
blooming.

God’s plan
for man.

Spring’s here.
It’s clear.

*Note: Pear, as well as Plum, refer to...

Too wet
To play

Read day
Today

Good book
Get hooked

Minds stray
Away

Sweet tune
Sung soon

Cow, moon,
Fork, spoon

Gat knew:
Jump too

Then Gat
Tells Bat

"Oh, man!
Bad plan!

Risk flirt, 
Get hurt!"

Nut sling?
Stretch string?

"Like that!",
Says Bat

Same gig,

Cats blessed
Rain rest

Rule, reign
Domain

Dull yard
Rain hard

Dogs see
By tree

Mean dog
From fog

Sidekick
Close stick

Bat, Gat
Hate that

Up, stride
Eyes wide

Chicks couped
Goats grouped

Dog guard
Goat yard

Calm still
No thrill

Closed gate?
Not great!

Dogs there
Gave scare

Poor...

Sun loud
No cloud

Pack up
Meet up

Split, Blue
Come too

Up hill
Splash, chill

In lake
Dark shape!

Swim still?
Lost thrill

Leg? Fin?
Not in!

Cretin?
Eaten!

Float, creek
Sprung leak!

Big scare
Hiss air

Leak get
All wet

In drink
Bat sink!

It’s grim
Can’t swim
