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.

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.

Poplar Poems

As a poet I would like to be
Very poplar all the world to read
So I look at those who are
What do they write
Is it very hard
And I see quick short poem
The lines are quick the words are few
And the meaning
Isn’t there
No thought is needed
Them to read
And now I know
Now I see
Don’t make them think
If them

Poplar Cottonwood Haiku-

Poplar Cottonwood haiku- 

songbirds nest courtships
mice, rabbits, deer eat bark leaves
mighty Cottonwood

broad triangular
cotton-like seeds grows 139 foot tree
are those leaves 6 inches

poplar Cottonwood
tallest trees in Nebraska
great plains Cottonwood

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

Ballad of the Poplar

Tall and magnificent is poplar tree
But about its visage is something eerie
Poplar sways in the wind nearby a great sea
Poplar is tall but can’t reach the edge of sky anymore than to see

Past the great sea
Sea
It is very big sky goes for infinity
Yet in this lost cause I admire poplars beauty

Wind blows through poplar tree
And

Ballad of a Poplar

The poplars sway in the winter breeze
The field is wider than even falcon sees
The very time seems to freeze
Why do we wish for there to be God we need to appease? 

Even idea of heaven is in the mind
Without the mind
Man is blind
But what put the idea of divine in the mind

What part of the

Song of Poplar

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 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
