the oak and the ash
mightiest of the woodlands
bares all in winter
stands witness to his power
yet we choose to look away

The Woodlands

hey there, poor, loud lost lout
before you stomp these woodlands
trample these wildflowers
use earbuds to block birdsong
thank the fairies or be cursed

We are now swimming up the Boteti River, we twenty-three
To get to grasslands and savannah woodlands, you see
swimming is fun, sang the zebras, and the eating is free

Woodlands

Haiku competition for Raul Moreno  (as per his photograph submitted)





Brambles cloaked with green
Spring sunlight gleams through the trees
Wood thrush in full song.

Hollow Drums

Disco burnout,
fever rampant erosion

Empty glances,
mirrored hollow drums

Bleeding, starving,
passive alertness

Madeup, putdown
—treadmill run

Premium Member Sassy Forget Me Not

light periwinkle blue
with yellow face
she draws butterflies

she can be ground cover
prefers cool climate
found in woodlands

tolerant of rabbits and deer
reseeds herself
spreading her prettiness

Premium Member SASSAFRAS IN FALL

woodlands wait by the edge
where sassafras' three-lobed foliage flares up
like mittens in striking papaya and gold
tiger butterflies, squirrels, and birds flock
beguiled by the pendulous clusters of berries

Premium Member My Haven My Safety My Joy

tree
woodlands
forest fair
enticing winds
nurturing mushrooms
stalwart soldiers of peace
surrounded by violets
my haven my safety my joy
nirvana, Shangri-la loveliness
I hug my favorite, a big white oak

The Stiffened Streams

The stiffened 
 star strummed streams
of half hummed hopes 
and dismally 
dismantled dreams.
Wistfully washing 
through the 
withering woodlands 
of the worldly 
wandering truth
 to what this
 life really means .

What Tomorrow Brings

In Spring I searched through rosy woodlands fair,
and kept the meadows secret within my heart

To wed the summer’s final wish to fall surprise
—buried in the leaves of what tomorrow brings

(Good Shepherd Chapel: February, 2020)

Premium Member God's Cathedral

Here
in this
quiet place
of tranquil peace,
my soul is restored.
My broken spirit healed.
Amid the leafy woodlands
reflected in every green tree,
in this, God’s natural cathedral,
is manifest the glory of the Lord.

Premium Member Wind

Wakened, the winged and winsome wind wandered westerly while whistling witchery. It waltzed whimsically within woodlands - whooshing, then whipping willows. Worn, it waned. . . whispering wistfully.

Premium Member Colour Me Yellow

When Spring flowers,
in woodlands hereabout
reveal themselves,
archangels shout-
Im a weasel snout.

Inspired by the pretty woodland yellow archangel(Galeobdolon luteum) in a wayside woodland 
walk yesrterday in th Chiltern Hills.

Premium Member Winter Woodlands

Bright White Moon practically Glowing Radiating Rays Stretching Snowing over log home barnyard-red with yellow-orange sunshine windows Perfect Pines barely green morphed by the Magnificence of Winter Woodlands

Premium Member Tree Leaves

tree leaves rustle in breeze- cardinal wings fluttering above- cottony clouds owl landing in an oak- mouse scurries leaves floating on the wind- deer running water trickles in the distance- salmon leaps

Shades of Green

In ancient woodlands
I am breathless,
hushed beneath lush foliage
and dappling sunlight.
A brook leaps lichen rocks.
Ferns unfurl extending tendrils 
to a distant sky.
Pin cushions of moss
carpet the forest.
I am awakened
to colours and textures
of leafy green.

Soloist

Meet Brad the snake, he lived in woodlands.
He loved to make music in rock bands.
Singing so strong and loud,
Hissing, wiggling so proud.
Now how did he hold mike, without hands.

Premium Member Chris and Alice

My name is Chris,
Her name is Alice,
We’re cocooned in
A plantastic palace,
While balanced on
The woodlands eaves,
We banquet on
What others leaves.

We’re pillers of
Socie-eat-he
We pay our debts
And dine for free,
But our sights are set
Up in the sky,
For we’ve been promised
One day we’ll fly!

Premium Member Snowdrops

soft slim serene shafts 
snow white petals and sepals ---
curved curled and clustered

symbol of the spring 
purity pace par perfect ---
snowflakes of woodlands

Warrior Wind

Wakened winged warrior wonders about
Whimsically whooshing through out the woodlands
Wistfully whispering wondrous tunes
Wakened winged warrior wonders about
Waltzing within the weeping willows 
Never will be worn down never be waned 
Wakened winged warrior wonders about
Whimsically whooshing through out the woodlands
