Junipers
Big tall evergreen trees are monoecious
But others are only dioecious
Two sexes are mono
While only one dio
Both prickly to handle coniferous

The cottonwoods don’t make me sneeze
All the rest are horrible for me
Stirring up my leafy allergy...

Ten in a row, watching this old bard
They grow renegade, their roots are super deep.
Providing shade for my red ninety-eight Jeep....

Tea TalesCome 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 ChatThe 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....

Remembering summeron a sizzling august afternoon
the glitter on the water scintillates
tapdancing on a hot griddle
till a cool breeze reaches the shore
and loosely sways the braids
of an old weeping willow
as if to a sweet nostalgic rhythm...

Garden TreeI 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...

Hells TreeHells tree where I hang
A round sack colour black
Inside little black Knots woven along ropes of black
Of all my sins that need paying to clear my rent
All would be paid to clear but prayer is also needed.
I am of age to face my debt.
With a glimmer of hope.

Tree of creativityIt’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...

Tree of SoulsIt 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...

That's Not SafeAmongst spruce oblivious of the way,
As I admire the wonder all abound.
Birds fly above dancing their own ballet
All spruce trees spread their fragrance all around.
The compact wood is hushed before night fall,
Arrive at a bridge shocked at what I see
The chances of crossing are very small.
Trying anything is indeed no key.
The bridge is thin, its...

LIFEMuch like the limbs of a tree,
Life has away of reaching out towards the heavens.
With roots,
Grounded and fastened steadfast to the bedrock,
We can be firm in our foundation whilst blowing and bending to the winds Will.
Leaves,
Like family or friend or foe,
Will come and go as life is
seasonal.
Let hardships or pain fall off.
And be shed...

Protection TreeThere will never be
A story told
That does not measure
Hope so old
As in this tree
With shading bow
As here I sit
In writing now
For in this ancient
Solid form
That buries deep
Under the norm
Of human treadmill
Feet that scurry
A wisdom lies
Below the flurry
Such gnarly skin
Yet seasoned clothes
A message tall
This tree bestows
For those with eyes
For those with ears
A whisper to...
