centered cottonwood
gracious leaves waves, where tree stands,
stellar before God

dampish break of day
a dead cottonwood, falls prowls
live squirrel hiding

Cottonwood trees cavort their petticoats
Flashing sparkly lacy glimpses of white
August day as breezy as it ever was
Tree line of chorus girls shameless in their reveal.
Tall cottonwood tree
it is leafy and solid
with falling broad leaves
and many awesome branches
as it drools letting go leaves

on the mosquito
before spruce biting fleas flies
the cottonwood tree
once again bitten
all over my arms and neck
by those mosquitoes

perfect mate nearby
wind scatters cottony tufts-
a summer snowfall

viceroy butterfly
dancing
on the tips
of cottonwood
dreams
tumbling
in the
spiritual air
your seamless
wings are
slicing through
the wind
mimicking
royal blue
sky
pink catkins
of eastern cottonwood-
happy offspring
tree flowering
in the sun-
beaver waits patiently
moon shines
upon her coral blossoms-
cricket chirps
pink catkins
of eastern cottonwood-
happy offspring
tree flowering
in the sun-
beaver waits patiently
moon shines
upon her coral blossoms-
cricket chirps
Mr. Giraffe was as docile as a tall creature can be.
He hid among the leaves of a Cottonwood tree.
The birds discovered him and said “whee whee whee!”
He is our newest perch. They were happy as could be!
mother naked oak
oversees pine forest
squirrel grabs plump acorn
twisting shimmering leaves
cottonwood feels magical
silver faerie titters
pine cone plop
fir tree scratches sky
snow lands gently

give me a tiny bit of prettiness
not the gnarly lip you give others
show me paradise with approving eyes
give me a sign you care
your silence shows me nothing
terrifying flowers in the garden
and the cottonwood tree
replenishing air
keeping the earth fresh
nurturing giants
animal cover
vital place for ferns
verdant thicket
hiding the deer
shading the grass
miracle oak
leafy elm
orange maple
cottonwood
birch
willow
tree
Mighty Autumn Cottonwood
lustrous bright green
windbreaks shadow providing
leaves as wide as a hand waving
trees asset in wildlife

Cottonwood Tree stood
By a deep gully
Precariouly bent
Until tornado
Shook it to its core
The strong winds blew
Destroyed leaves
Some limbs broken
Roots were strong deep
Tornado
Shook to depth
Of belief
Tree stands
Tall Still
Saved
Native, neat noble Nebraska Cottonwood tattered, talented Trees
Tall, so tall those sturdy Trees
Nostalgic, gnarly Nebraska Cottonwood teary,
Those terrific Trees
Our talented truthful trees

Cottonwood sky
Men hunger to fly
We beat our waxwings
Against this innocent wind
Then, we ascend
To the boundaries
Of heaven
What beacon of light
Burst, as a flame,
From the warm hands of Prometheus
This morsel of bread
Shall feed hungry men
We fly, again
To the boundaries of heaven
In my neighborhood
mighty high cottonwood trees
leaves big as man hand
~
mighty strong long tall
aged minimum rings 30 old
high as mountain top
~
mighty cottonwood
rising high above other trees
firm strong and mighty

The wildflowers show mushrooms where to sleep.
Moss covers the feet of the cottonwood trees.
A breeze is slight, coming from the bowels of the east.
I am reminded of the tumultuous winds of the ocean and seas.
Feeling calmed, by the serene flora of the day,
I am thrilled to invite in the fauna and the fey.

Gave myself a calm moment
Stopped the carousel of life.
Ignoring the hungry horses.
An owl hoots her approval.
Might not have heard her otherwise.
Nurturing wind twinkles some cottonwood leaves.
Would I have seen them? Doubtful.
Robin’s tweet makes me smile.
Breathing at an all-time low; nature’s nirvana.
