Premium Member Under a Poplar Tree
Wan and weary in sultry heat he walked on and on through dust and dirt off the bustling street, looking for a shade Paving his way through by lanes at last reached a quiet spot, full of green cover. Like an Arab coming upon an oasis amid the panting sterility of the desert, he rejoiced. It had an air of monastic seclusion a mysterious...

Asylum Poplar
Mirroring salted sweat of limes. Dreadful long march creeped and galloped. No home seek looms. A half way of death. Quadruped war for nothing. Tremor feet seek a poplar silhouette. Shaded shadow similar to angel's wing. Rain, snow, wind, sunlight , eyes dropped. Mom, our mansard roof missed us....

Premium Member Like a Poplar Tree
Alone I'm standing; a tall poplar tree With many of my kind alongside me All standing here in solidarity Together as one when we need to be. There are times when we need to be alone To enjoy the deep bliss of solitude For any wrongdoings we must atone Pay your debts to others; peace is assured. Be...

Premium Member Once a Poplar
Passive and watching, caught up in the crowd, with chanting and torches, all screaming so loud. The wailing of women, a pouting young child, a rope o’er my shoulder, eyes murderous and wild. Hooded the ghouls, in pristine white cloth. Battered the young man, in bloody red froth. All this commotion is horror and fright The rope on my shoulder... they’re drawing it tight. Gasping and choking and kicking of feet, hollers...

Poplar on the wind whispers stories of old Her words are worth more than gold As each ballad is about to unfold The eye of destiny looks beyond When she was young she was cared for by a sage Who was also great mage But he died of old age And she was alone among storms filed with rage She looked as...

Poplar and Wind
The smell of led was in the air In the quiet forest bullet that silence would dispel That bullet young partisans’ heart would tear And the boy like stone would fell All was left was a shallow grave And small cross given to the one who was brave Above the grave tall poplar would sway like an ocean wave The...

The Autumn Poplar
The Autumn Poplar Blinded in its oblivion of words The sound of wind rises in her branches The dance and pirouette of each stem As soft in sound, As the ending flutter of a graceful leaf To the ending page of the sheet music I composed in the form of a poplar sonata. The branches lean into my arms, And I feel nothing, Like a...
