sun rays highlight edges of pink blossoms;

Playful gray squirrels
Chasing in my dogwood tree
A wary eye out
For coyotes and feral cats
Pay no attention to me

Happy nuthatch taps
Drumming his special rhythm
On my dogwood tree
Robin provides melody
Tone deaf bluejay acts annoyed

A bumblebee missed my head this morning
Flew into the plate-glass window, without warningl,
And bounced off into the dogwood tree
I wonder, who was better off…him or me?

My trembling feet may venture
Where others dare not go
These fingers touch the blood red thorns
And remind my heart to beat slow
But still the sparrow sings to me
Quietly from the dogwood tree
Echoing across the falling leaves
"Come to me, come to me."

Many white blooms in spring
Four petals have blood drops on each
These are Christ's head, hands, and feet with the center red berries
Being the bloody crown that was placed on his beautiful brow that drouped in the pain, heat

A splash of white rises in blossoms tall
On the Dogwood trees near the stone wall
They have been growing year to year
Now they have bloomed with spring cheer
Decorated in white surrounded by green
They are shining to fill in this beautiful scene

Kitana Mansa what words speak me
there shredded or triffled
the shoes of tired men
Mansa Kitana sing that
you are songful
the son of pleasant persons
the headjoint of the flute
the carved dogwood tree
music that causes pleasure
are songs that bothers me
These are you songs
these are the inspirations for
coupling marriage
defined by scholars
never to
be confessed or unraveled

Ballad
Born of ignorant sod
King of kings, son of God
Halo crown of thorn
Pivotal pinnacles adorn
Crucifix dogwood tree
Suffer so dire malady
Forge rugged cross
Convey sanctioned loss
Purest blossoms white
Pristine petals alight
Tips in sanguine red
Pierced divine bloodshed
Father's grief enlisted
Boughs gravely twisted
Ne'er again use malice
Hardwood most callous

May fashions days it will unveil;
and there exists one which I hail.
For me, it stands out from the rest-
for proof May came- it is the best.
Outside my window, grows a tree
that blooms each year- now fifty-three.
When dogwood blossoms open wide-
May bares her beauty- amplified.

From the window, I can see
Snowy blooms on the dogwood tree
Cows grazing on pastures green
Baby calves, such a lovely scene
In my country heart, I seek
Words that describe, words to speak
So that others may read these lines
And find a deeper peace at times
God has filled our world with beauty
To care for it is our only duty
Stewards of the land are we
Keeping it beautiful for all to see

My favorite place, is on a knoll above the meadow,
Under a dogwood tree, wrens flying in the dayglow,
Reading, picnicking, or enjoying the midday snooze,
Or seizing upon canvas, the butterscotch and blues.
Gay blooms crowd the summer, to daydreams' delight,
And butterflies roam so slowly, towards moonlight!
Bronzed days are lustrous, in a precint of silence-
The sun rose blush at dawn, and it hasn't set since!

The birds have all begun to sing.
Frozen days of winter took wing.
Warmly the robin chirrs of spring.
A blue jay swoops down from the oak.
His chilling jeer to mind invokes;
Fears from feckless fraudulent folks.
Red headed woodpecker pecks pine;
Rhythmic reminder, faith sublime.
Tapping a note, all will be fine.
Cardinals trill from dogwood tree;
Chirping birdie, birdie, birdie.
Singing a song of victory!

In the dark of the meadow,
Under a tall dogwood tree,
Swinging to and fro,
Is where you'll find me.
Silent - not a sound will I make.
Still - not a breath will I take.
Asleep - never to awake.
In the shadow of fate I'm forever hidden,
Where the light of day is strictly forbidden.
So if you care to find me,
This is where I'll be,
Swinging to and fro,
Hanging from the dogwood tree...
