Sequoia Poems - Poems about Sequoia

Born to a land unspoiled and free The mighty sequoia was on the ascendancy Ancient elders stood erect and proud Free from threats to pierce a cloud Out of nowhere came a destructive presence Little creatures with a cold, dark luminescence So naive to think I’d thrive forever Not anticipating this new dawn of endeavour They tunnelled through a living tree Without any care...

In celebration of Earth Day I am posting The Mighty Sequoia I began my life as a tiny sprout In 1500 BC; now I'm a Giant Sequoia Tree. I grew and grew then stalwart loomed, At 1323 BC, the year King Tut became entombed. I spread my limbs in a skyward plea As the Great Wall of China begins in 221...

oh! how the winter wind howls - like coyotes in the cold of night at the seemingly solitaire pale moon set high above in the black velvet sea, holding the twinkles from wishes standing tall - proud the mighty sequoia does not waver in its most monstrous of gusts but instead rises, and reaches for the majestic gem...
