Greenery Poems

Spring

Something warm in the wind 
Puts the color back with ease, 
'Round the stems of flowers 
Into the limbs of trees ...
Newness to the place around 
Greenery born upon the breeze.

Holiday Greenery

The Cloisters is a special place,
Medieval and austere,
Assembled from five monasteries
Brought from France to here.*

Within its walls are gardens,
All meticulous and neat
And to celebrate the holidays,
There is a special treat:

Swags of greenery and apples
On the lintels, way up high,
Plus so many matching wreaths
You had to smile as you passed by.

Just the perfect touch of festive
For a Middle Ages site,
With no need for glitz and glitter,
An old-fashioned yule delight.

*Washington Heights, in upper Manhattan

Entry for the summer Haiku Contest. Tania Kitchin


                         the lush greenery
           blankets the sides of mountains
                       a warm place to rest

Death By 5 In the Kitchen

Death by 5… in the Kitchen
 or, A Bottle Garden No One Expected 

Perched on an oak table, there rests an opulent and ornate glass bijou bottle,
a growing collection of nature’s organic jade.

But hidden below the green finery, concealed from a mushroom nursery,
there develops a frightful opalescence enclave.

A clutch of ravenous slugs of horror are preparing to hatch within the hour,
and raise an unholy terror, with the sole purpose of flora devour! Oh, my!

Greenery

after the rain, wildflowers bend like
                         wilted men wrapped in age and bliss
fragments of longing and belonging
in wet that sustains a warming world 
                                     to bring elation with green fields
                                     in a mission of beauty

daisies poke through tall grasses
              picketing the field with star shaped heads
              and yellow centre discs
              that make the world manageable to hold
              gadflies of growth
              with white petals plucked by
                                 wooing hands to know
                                 the alignment of love
                         
greenery with life within
overstuffed
drenched hazy
a tangle of vegetation 
all of it deflecting woe like voices in a chorus
finding one's self in the mix

Homestead Greenery

In the garden, mud squished beneath my feet.
I dreamt of oceans vast and concrete,
Where rainbows danced upon the waves,
And washed stone glistened in the sun's raves.

But beyond the sea, darkness loomed.
And creatures of the deep entombed,
A world of mystery and fear
Where danger lurked and death was near.

Yet still, I yearned to explore.
To sail the seas and seek out more,
To brave the storms and face my fate,
And discover what lies beyond the gate.

For in my heart, a fire burned,
A passion that could not be turned
To grasp the world and all its wonder,
And now bygone be held asunder.

So I set sail and left the shore,
To seek the treasures that lie in store,
To chart fresh lands and conquer fears,
And live a life without any tears.

And though the journey was cruel and long,
And intermittently I felt weak and wrong.
I never gave up on my throng.

Greenery Wraps

In the shade, I shrivel
in flowering cactus
crafting sloppy verse

below the scraggly
exhausted moon

warm reverberations of love
originating in the Jade Garden
nerves jangling in my true being

the magnificent encounter 
of how to melt 
this iron reluctance

dreams can feel 
most real than actual life
every day as I unseal my eyes.

Greenery

Greenery stretches
As far as your eyes can reach
An abundance of green tones
Reflecting signs of life and youth
Looking soft, tender and non-aggressive
Signifying kindness and patience
Love and affection
Maybe imbedded with a little jealousy
Because of the admiration for 
The vibrance and brightness of some other colours
Every colour has its dream
The green colour also has its dream
An increasing touch of splendour from sunlight
And maybe some hearty attention 
from man 
Whoever is a nature lover

Greenery Ate Urban

floating within my eyes
room within a bare skull
came the lover of thoughts

'image yourself within
waters surrounded by giant
skies...'

greenery ate urban

i loved my lover here
with legs of understanding
and a neck of pure Love

i licked the cellophane
flowers within her eyes
caught between my head

and ate her hot sun

so caught i am i said
while phantom eyes
said, "HI!"
waving shore men
wept  

while greenery ate urban

The Old Tree

The old tree
Too wither for the sun
Too thick for the rain
Too big for the wind
Too old for the oldies to tell stories
Too bristle for the youngsters to climb upon
Too shady and blocking for the view of the road
Too many leaves for the sweepers
Too dangerous for the lightning
Too big for the children to embrace
Have to give way to safety and developments
An old stump is left
A soothing greenery is lost 
But the laughters it once brought 
Remain in the mind of the children

Lost In Greenery

I was lost in exotic lush greenery,
And quite lost in my deep thoughts,
Yet aware of the blossoming scenery,
Of riverbank stones slimy with moss.

I was lost in woods, nature's heart,
Gone green out of civilized society,
Off to myself, amidst natural arts,
Along an obscure pathway of quietly.

I was knee deep in jaded backroads,
Awash in sun in meditation meadow,
Until I stumbled on the black rose-
As rare as moonlight on a rainbow!

Greenery

We drove for hours, 
and…
lost our way twice. 
Dad grumbled beneath
his breath, quietly, 
or was he praying? 

No one dared to ask, 
Where…
Where we may end… 
(quietly, gazing out of the car)
our grand quest, 
our merry adventure?

Tree hunting, 
garland strings of pine, 
and the smell of 
all things holiday…
Mix the same exactly,
as they did then, 
to make a memory, 
I now,
miss my whole life.
