Gnarled hands stained by carbon seams
Harsh life etched into burning eyes
Yet tenderness turned wood
In delicate designs declaring devotion.

Shifty brown waters
Gnarled grey shack
on a verdant grassy pier
Snow white townhouses
on nearsighted shores
The sky, powdery blue
and you,

The tree stands stately
A thousand rings betray age
The birds sing like sages
Gnarled trunk suffers all weathers
Light dew moistens bird feathers

the dirt clung to them
creased by life’s endless struggles
broken fingernails
a scarred litany
of bruised, gnarled and calloused hands
the poor man’s mantra

Grief is not a straight line
it meanders down
echo cobbles
hiding in
black shadow forest
tendril fingertips
gnarled and knotted
pull you back
to a rememberance
of the gone

a large old gnarled bench
by a much older gnarled tree
where the old men sit to dream
of happy boyhoods
love was foremost in their minds
now keeping awake is hard

I once knew a poet named Carl
Who found himself in a troubling snarl
A victim of vicious rumors you see
The result of deep rooted envy
Gave him clenched teeth and knuckles all gnarled

your back against the gnarled trunk

peace is playing hide and seek once again
a flash of God sheen just beyond the bend
black constellation of battle
hymns twisted into death rattle
gnarled souls are the toll we pay for sin

peace
of night
draped in dark
cloth of samite
illumes succinct love
countless moments
words foreplay
gnarled script

What does it matter
Bushy, gnarled, prickly or old
Green is all matter.

a gnarled olive tree
surveyed the scene --
tender saplings soaring skyward
regal oaks basking in glory
majestic cedars 'midst the clouds
--under her breath
~ I’ll outlast you all

The incoherent sway
leaves leave as wind
winds around
gnarled tendrils
of stories taught
wooden veins of vines whine
torrid trepidations of trembling fingers
to brush the sky face
and bark seems to smile

A BOLD CUT
As every competent woodsman knows
Better timber where the best tree grows
Cut down elsewhere, and it really shows
Disappointment and even sadness flows
Every gnarled tree still counts, I suppose

Trees have a kind of flexibility,
Given time they will grow
And left untouched
Branches will wrap around
With twisted, gnarled limbs,
Integrating themselves
Into unintentional abstract art.
A photographer's dream.

Powdered gray, the moss,
intricate lace, decorates
giant cypress on the shore
gnarled knees offer post
where watchful birds keep vigil-
holy lake sanctuary.

Olden clock
Rusty nails and forgotten tales
Gnarled Brailles fogs your brain
Amongst the sacred trail you did not take
Whimpered cries can not break
Only a cloud shall escape
A quickened pace
You will embrace

The oldest tree is a California gnarled pine
It began growing way back during the pyramids time
It's over 4,000 years old
Had the oldest curse ever told
Those who climbed it were charged with a serious crime

I lined up the vegetable crazies onto a dinner plate.
They stuck out their tongues, their tummies were great.
With scrunched up faces, I wondered if they knew their fate.
Eight gnarled up turnips lying on a flat dinner plate.
