night
cleanse the air
with
the scent of cherry wood
then
somehow
through
the moon and the pines
that
let us hear
those wooden chimes
Rocky cliff rises straight up
A few strong pines push through rocks
The lazy river flows south
Cleans Spewell Bluff's feet
skyline pines aligned
within the needles doves coo…
branches cradle peace

Brian Strand Contest
Name A FREE CHOICE AGAIN
On all our Christmas tree twigs
On the boughs and the sprigs
Adorned with the presence of
The Present and the Dove
Gently dancing out Their Christmas jigs
Sunrise ~ let the games commence.
White pines sway in the spring breeze.
Chipmunks playful at their feet.

Coeur d'Alene, Heart of the Awl,
gem of the north,
you tamed my hatred of this desert state
and gave me sunlight sparkling on
blue lakes under scented pines.
snow covered pine trees
dressed in gowns of crystals high
let go in the breeze

lofty pines
encircle
the opal pool
surreal shades
of blue
shimmer through
shining
swimmers’ inspiration
skies elevation
sun shines through branches
a golden heavenly gate
blessings in the pines

Bold escarpments scrape the clear sky,
rake and hoe the clouds day bright,
plant your pointed pinnacle high,
show man the way into the Light.
Reflect upon the fractured form
for all that is human is reborn.
From trunk to limb to branch to twig
The houses we build
The beatle who kills
My favorite shelf
Stacked each one smaller
Vanishing towards heaven
The needles on the ground
Scented perfection
Swaying in the breeze
pines sigh in brisk breeze
spring-green dots the pine forest....
birds chirp at sunrise
nest being built in new houses
cardinal bathes in birdbath
He's going to court his pick for this season
The green pines stand tall
Much higher above them all
Reaching for the sky
Waiting for the snow to fly
We watch for winter below

the affirmation of
the darling sweet pines
are the celebration and
the coronation
that come to mind
be filled with bright snow
the marriages of
the our sons and
our daughters
bring us through
the affirmation of
the pines
tall pine trees burning
in californian wildfires ~
lifeless silhouettes

To the clouds-
a tousled crown of green,
a bump in the fabric of land.
To the deer-
a hall of silent pillars,
woven shadows,
mighty temples.
To the rain-
a fleeting flash of green and brown
then hush-
splattering on fallen needles.
the majestic northern elk
pierced by the archer's swift arrow
through the forest divine
deep into the heart it shatters
the elk leaped over the river's flow
oh what matters
straight up into green pines
yes he shall go to thine
oh Lord he shall not die
bottom of a bowel
of jagged rocks
slender bristling pines
ring a ragged sky
through which slips
slivers of warmth
hugging me like a child
on this crisp morning
life on the line
wiggling wriggling
jumping
splashing, flashing
slippery, cold, and firm
in my grasp
Beyond the house…
Pass the back yard…
Through the trees, and into
the forest…
That is where you will see
the pines…
Shadows befall the branches
that are covered with needles,
as the scent of pine floats and
floods the heavy air…

The Pines
Tall and Slender
Reaching to the sky
Needles dropping
Air frigid and dry
Branches waving
While never saying goodbye
Form:
She came from the village
One day's ride from here.
Though I'd only met her but the once,
She filled a corner of my memories
All down these many years.
She had that Fugitive look about her-
Eyes like a wary fox.
She would not add nor take from what she'd told me;
Her heart was full of locks.
Sounds that whisper continuously.
Notes that dance across the sky,
throughout the day of a life
Ah, makes me as a child again.
No thoughts of tomorrow, arms
reaching out feet happily dancing
through the wonderous sounds, hints
of energy found..
So endearing, how it washes my mind
in serenity.
Form:
She pines for him
As he speaks of his nights
Screaming phone calls
From unnamed voices
She sighs at me
While I laugh at her desire
He tags me with a number
As I notice the lack of worth
I hear the rumors, the gossip
Because no one thinks I’m listening
I know about her
I know about him
And I probably know about you
Form:
Long needle pines
chant in a gentle breeze.
I sit motionless. Bathed
in the canorous drone,
feel the tremors
of life’s longing,
the ring of ageless wisdom,
sense the strength
of stoic serenity.
Would that I could take root
and join them
…….in their moment.

Wisdom from Trees Poetry Contest
Pines, my native line and birth
From you I came without a dearth
Pines, I shall call you with mirth
To you I return with my vision to unearth
Returning with unearthly wealth
Simple works I offer, not burn
Honor is yours, over my urn.
Toils are not made to harden one's feelings
Or break a heart of stone that churn
Rather to soften outer peelings.
