honeysuckle tree
blossoms rain on summers day
yellow parachutes
she grows renegade
her offshoots grow wild too
commandeer the yard

A spider plant* with many offshoots --
The mother firmly holds onto her little girl's hand at the nursery.

I used to love my combat boots.
In O.D. green I felt grassroots.
Sporty shorts and long straight hair
Any whistle got my glare.
My favorites, now, are boots’ offshoots!

Who planted the wild berry bush?
I am not raising my hand quickly
Yet I know it was me
She has eleven offshoots
Taking over my garden
Ruining my flowers
I cannot annihilate her
Now that she has these followers
And to think I started the whole thing

Sapling apple stems,
once pushed into warm earth,
root with excitement...
their graceful naked branches
reach high into autumn's sky
Willowy offshoots
are pointing upwards
to drink in the sun...
a legacy of knowing
what nature has intended

” You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars.” -Desiderata
We put down roots and bear our fruits.
With dear offshoots, we are like trees.
Stars wink their eye, burn bright and die.
No asking why - we are like these!

Rooting for 8 to 5
Atop the hill an Oak tree stands tall,
With seedlings dropping to the grown in fall,
While nestled beneath, winters white blanket of snow,
Mysterious rooting begins, with offshoots ready to grow,
Soon on display, Mother Natures’ spring fashion show.

Maybe you ignore it.
You as a Tree of Life radiate sparks;
successive generations of offshoots.
Offshoots of the second, third... generation.
Sparks of your own greatness
enlighten successive generations.
Afterwards the primal tree burns and self-destructs
but that beneficial destruction
spreads and radiates over all of them,
sparks alike golden fireworks from heaven.

i stand as a human
with limbs
roots
offshoots
and plenty of chlorophyll
blood and protein
know what i mean?
i live the star life
not the rock star life
i live on a rock
one rock helps
keep balance from another
rock
... the moon, the earth
the moon is leaving like a tree
she can't take the earth's b.s. anymore
the party has been fun and ash
for her
but
now
she needs her space (perpetual)
and the 45 tilt will ebb
will you and i
see it?
no,
but my roots will
