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
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
created 1/1/2008
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

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

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
