Evil hearted, whispers low.
I will kill you all....

cloisters on north tree trunk
happens always so.

his body 
is a tree trunk
flowers growing
out of it

he plucks flowers
every night
and destroys them;
destroys himself...

Plip plop plip plop falls
the raindrops on the red leaves
as the blue breeze keeps
fondling the fragrant buds and
the tickling shakes the tree trunk

While poking around in an old tree trunk
I came nose to nose with a stinky skunk
He suddenly raised his tail
Twas' such a horrible smell
For my wife said that I stink, stank, and stunk...

Collective consciousness
Folded over into a square
Wrapped around a tree trunk
Etched with a scimitar
Another guidepost
To the morning star
Ad nauseam
Barba tenus sapientes

Hollow tree trunk awaits –

     Hibernation

Listen to poem:

peek
a boo
I
see you
hiding there
behind
the
tree trunk.
For your hair
blows out streaming
in the wind
reaching
out
beyond
the tree's bark.
It flicks
like
a flag
flaps

mama deer and fawn
at bird feeder this morning
a hesitation

mama deer butts red
feeder slams against tree trunk
but scaring neither

mama deer and fawn
consume bird feed on the ground
forest disappear...

The overgrown Amazon ape
With his furry tree trunk wide nape
Flew over wearing a red satin cape
Birds cringed at his cumbersome shape
He carried a bag made of crepe
In plum, fuchsia and possibly grape
A fancy one-of-a-kind hairy ape...

Tree trunk dulled the axe,
feller had to sharpen and wax,
apply strength twice as much,
to fell the tree as such,
all arduous deeds are about same,
you have to work hard,hard and hard,
honing,cutting and nibbling,
before they lead you to any fame....

Time
	His middle was like a tree trunk
	You could see how his time was passing
	Through the holes in his belt
	Each of them frayed and misshapen
	Before it was discarded for a new one
	Round, perfect
	Ever further from the beginning
	Ever closer to the end...

Listen to poem:

The force that filled this sail
blew dust off crest of desert dunes
howled sighs in forest tree-trunk array
whistled a tune in rampart rafters
lulled a wheat field to shimmery shivers
chilled bones to curdle 'n crack
tired,
seeped out a crack, 
and blew away....

Birds seem loud today
Their birdseed gone
Stolen by deer last night
One feeder destroyed

Butted up against tree trunk
Until she gave up,
Falling to the ground, 
in pieces

Delighting the deer
who feasted on 
ground served bird food
Cardinals are not happy...

the harshest of all inventions
wind machine of origin divine
driving plank through tree trunk
and the animals in the zoo understand

code yellow, orange, red
time remaining: just a shred

deciding what to wear
as the maelstrom cometh
make up your mind
ask the angels...

savor of fresh rain
bird house fastened to tree trunk~
beak full of earthworms

nestlings bulging cheeks
leaves its nest gravity pulls~
prompt upward movement
