Green rising from brittle leaves
Pure fringed refreshment...

Withered trees hang their heads down;
Weeping tears of sap....

October sapling
Colored leaves clutch the branches
Emerald backdrop
Sets the scene for tomorrow
Frost covered, lonely, gray limbs...

he was raised by trees
a fur king in Germany's black forest
few met him, as he seldom transmogrified
posing as a harmless sapling by day
howling rage by night...

bend each subtle branch
in tune of the rising sun
stand tall tomorrow

Young Groot, a small sapling so keen,
Said, "I am Groot!" to a big bean.
It rolled down the hill,
Groot yelled, "I am still!"
Then tripped on a tiny latrine.

Memories

Renewed by scene

A heart carved in sapling

Mighty red oak thirty foot high

Heirloom  

Memories can be pronounced mem-o-ries or mem-ries...

Autumn rakes garden,
flushed flowers wither and fall.
They return in spring
to sapling of yearning heart,
life blooms with luster of love.

From a little sapling to a tree,
He grows, he grows to be,
Stuck to its roots still,
Can’t go anywhere, can’t be free,
Stuck in the soil,
His own not allowing him to go,
He just sits there, where he sadly grows...

beneath the oak tree
a sapling withers and dies
shielded from the sun
sheltered from the wicked world
she swings from a makeshift noose...

We grow like a tree.
We fall like a branch.
We blossom like a tree.
We grow roots. We need to be nurtured, cared for and loved.
 Like a young sapling finding it’s way. Growing bigger and bigger year after year.
We change like the seasons.
Like a tree........

A tender sapling -- delicate, frail
  without support will often fail
Tied to a stake, it has a chance
  to grow up straight, to firm its stance...

Oftentimes we judge a tree
  by its leaves and stature
When roots trunk and branches
  ~ reveal its character...

A meandering brook winds past
Branches sway in a gentle breeze
Praising the lord God unsurpassed
Like a supplicant on their knees

In homage to azure skies
Heavenward the sapling reaches
Awaiting its God to baptise 
While the black Cockatoo preaches

confounded again
Croesus latitarsus
birch sawfly larvae

Found these Birch sawfly larvae (8th June 2018), on a self-seeded Silver birch sapling growing on the upper bank of my pond. Not sure but I think the bright colours could mean they are unpalatable?...

Childhood! I can hear cries of the wild-free
and the loud yell of the long lost, and for
souls, young as the new sapling, a strong tree
is always growing before mine and yours.
Still murmurs the cold ground
and the grass parting; oh
hear budding the fresh sound
and the ground broken so....

the joy of you pop 
   
 once big as a redwood tall 
   
 fragile you blessed me 
   
   
   
 your eyes gave me hope 
   
 hundreds of years you grow small 
   
 a dark evil world 
   
   
   
 I stand taller now 
   
 a young sapling rooted deep 
   
 lessons you taught me...

Did a gardener envision this heart and make it so?
When the tree was a sapling, did he or she tie it into place?
It matters not, the effect is a smile on people’s faces.
They come from miles away to get their wedding photos here.
Was this also envisioned by the gardener? We will never know....

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

The world revolves,
Around the sun.
On and on,
Same days, same years...
But once in a while,
An asteroid hits,
An eclipse darkens,
But it is still there.
It bleeds larva, screams in terror and pain.
Shadowed for years...
But still there
Like a little sapling looking for light, 
Trying to come back alive....
