Premium Member allergic to trees

I have pretty trees and ugly trees
The cottonwoods don’t make me sneeze
All the rest are horrible for me
Stirring up my leafy allergy

Cottonwoods

Soft white tufts jump from tree tops to float down
Dancing and swirling on the warm breezes
They kiss the water’s edge and sail away
Now only memories of them remain

Lightning Storm

bolts of lightning 
crackle
through 
gray-blue clouds
the 
wind howls, 
uplifting 
the roof of 
the 
old red barn
as 
the 
sleepy cottonwoods
gather in 
for 
this storm
Lord, 
provide them 
with shelter
but
keep them from harm

Emerald paints hills
Tall cottonwoods dance
Soft clusters drift
Riverbank winds laugh
Leaves endorsing orange
Skeletal branches weep
Soft clusters melt
White wonderland bows
Emerald paints hills

Evening Meditation

Our apple tree is exuberant tonight,
its white blossoms flare within emerald shades 
of our big cottonwoods,

and the flashing red finch descends
busy among the bursting white flames, 
when suddenly, by a small boy enraptured,
it poses as the guardian halcyon.

Love in April is like this, 
measured in flashes
of red wings in trees
and scored in lines of 
molten sunlight, pouring
through our knotty fence
into the silky darkness 
of our star drenched night
