The willow tree
As you walk down the dirt path, past the tall green trees, I hope you remember who you are when you reach the willow tree. You will inevitably get lost, confused in the woods, struggling to find your way to the willow. When the light dims, the whoos and coos of owls and other nameless creatures will hymn in your...

I count fifteen enormous branches on my giant oak If lightning got them and they fell, it would be no joke. I bet each one of them weighs at least forty pounds This magnificent tree might be the largest oak around....

Tea Tales
Come and climb these Broad bony branches and Have tea on this tree with me, Let's talk our hearts out Into the poems unsung. Sleep silently singing in my sizzly eyes, Sleep might snap with some pumpkin chai, The sun is seeping in my sulky bones, Soon the milky moon will mysteriously be alone, Here, have some squishy scone While the sun...

The wind and the trees made an awful sound. One moved fast, and one stood his ground. The tree had enough of that gale and his mouth. That bluster blew by and went South....

Garden Tree
I didn’t plant that garden tree But thinking, I just let it be I knew I should have cut it out But felt within to let it sprout And so, as seasons came and went I pruned this tree, its bole I bent Around the gable of my shed But left the limbs above my head The years passed by and I...

Tree of creativity
It’s there, you really need to see, your beautiful tree, of creativity. With nature you know, nothing is perfect. We all grow in our own crazy direction. We are tall, strong, with deep connections Branches may bend in slightly weird ways But we are grounded, the world around us looks astounded. Your roots are deep in the soil but you reach oh so...

Premium Member Tree of Souls
It stood like a sentinel at the world’s bleak last shore, its gnarled branches clawing at a churning grey November sky, above a thin and narrowing yellow band of waning light auguring the coming night. Rattling seed pods faintly clicked— (playing hollow, spectral tunes) like a wind-chime built for wraiths. Brittle voices rose and fell in...
