The soul of her young
offspring of coconuts
with their delicate shells
like the skull of a...

Auburn leaves dropping from trees,
Returning to dust,
Chilling winds howling southwards
Heralding winter's coming.

The silver birchThe white leather creaks
As damp pith breathes
Thin and strong
Against a solemn sky.
As branches again take
Punishment from northern winds
The trunk stands firm
Steeling itself for the assault ahead.
Straight despite the brutish
Harsh and relentless gusts

Barren branches of oaks sans customary green
yet shiver while...

WARRIOR'S LAMENTMountain laurel perfume wafted in the soft breeze.
Myriads of flittering birds sang in the trees.
At peace on our cabin porch with feet on the rail
Until a trumpet blast called me to hit the trail.
When...

An Autumn TreeWill such beauty endure? It surely must.
When Mankind’s traces vanish from the Earth,
our glories turned back to primeval dust,

THE SINGING TREE
She was walking ahead of her parents…feeling innocent…carefree
when suddenly she stopped in front of a tall, old…maple tree.
She stood motionless for a moment…her feet no longer moving…
her arms no longer swinging…

Cotton Fields
The devil’s dry fields
dirt farm, not much yields
damn sun
one forlorn tree shields
Texas battlefields

no wind, land barren
poor crop
windmill slow to run
water still and dun
well drop
worn clothes overdone
unbleached...

Sins of TreesAn ancient oak has been cut down
Its leaves were always falling down
Its sin was being messy

Footsteps in the forestShe walked
Through the forest
Alone but never lonely.
The moonlight shards
Reaching between the trees,
Needling through to the ground.

On the forest floor,
Leaves crisp and dry.
The slight warmth
Radiating from...

The Winter Tree“The Winter Tree’.
The winter trees are dreaming,
of violent summer storms,
wind, thunder, and lightning.
Of wild horses running in the rain, under a harvest moon,
chasing night rainbows.
Falling snow tickles their branches,...
