oak tree in night light
finger silent leaves and trunk
shadows sanctify ~
impressive palm print
fills the bulk of the forest
forty-five foot oak
leaving me warm memories
heavenly haven for crows
Oak Tree
A Live Oak tree the birds sing unto it.

Poetic form: Monoku
What I miss at this old age
is sitting high like some tree sage,
in a stately southern oak
not thinking of being rich or broke.
In the South New Jersey town of Stratford
grew a southern black oak tree.
It’s now a lifeless stump.
Maroon leaves loop the skyline's soft shine,
claret pearls on the sun's neckline.

An old Willow Oak,
Enormously huge and grey,
Towers above all,
Softly glows in the days light,
Being all the birds envy.

I left my languid thoughts cloaked in leaves
dreaming of you 'neath our oak tree.

Bright firecracker fanning in bloom
snuggle down its leaves makes me feel gloom.

Oak leaves
Fall from the tree
A few pictures, I need
If it wasn't, for these batteries.

Painting sky before I was born,
Draping my grave in leaf and acorn.

Oak's lace brushes fall's sundown
embossed in moonlight rosette, her gown.

Autumn Oak Trees
Titillated by nature’s sweet caress,
leaf by leaf oak trees undress.

Gifting us a green canopy,
oaks bow with old South gentility.
For Brian Strand's the 'Podium placing promise(2)' Poetry Contest
Oak tree limb gave me the nod today
When the winds get strong, we may have to pay
Tree is solid, not made of clay
That warning should be heeded said my brother Clay
The dogs were line up to pee
On what was a special oak tree
Frigid, but waited in line
All thoughts had crossed their mind
Peeing on the tree made them feel glee
no where i go within walking distance will i be safe of the ears of those who play
judgement,... sit in silence under an oak, that may just do the trick
Form:
oak tree wanted to retain her leaves
October wind was stealing them in outrageous amounts
at night she dreamed of growing her limbs into fingers
so she could catch some
Rocked fence rounds tinged of moss,
Laurels languish on limbered lengths aloft,
Faithful oak blessed rays anoint.

My oak has an attitude
I must clean up all her leaves
No gratitude! She is just
acorn in my side!
For Russell Sivey's Contest: Trees everywhere
By Carrie Richards 2/14/12
"An acorn grows to a mighty oak" -
words, once, my grandpa spoke
when I was small.
What dear Grandpa forgot to say,
long ago, on that happy day,
is, "Every oak must fall".
Musical autumn leaves in slashes and swirls.
Flowing around me, making melodic curls.
Titters and skitters from mischievous squirrels,
What is more magical than September oak twirls?
.
Oak cast long shadow
Brown Thrasher, Northern Flicker...
Feed at his big feet
