Honeysuckle trees have grown all over my yard What can I do with this? Being a bard…. I counted the ones that are the easiest to see They came into our house and commandeered our TV Now a gang, they have a mascot and are wearing colors We are just the start one told me. There are many others. They demanded...

Shadows of the Valley creatures of the dark pitted dome scantily clad dryads' hissing drones they rally without souls—pod like, they roam throughout forests assiduously marled awoken from the darkest depth twigs and branches splayed and snarled shadows of the valley doyennes adept distracting sheaves as straws spewing dirt they bask in on battered brain gnaws Taken in is florescent energy of the soldiers asleep wondering lost deep...

I talk to the trees and they listen to me I whisper sweet nothings they renew the air I breathe I talk to the trees tho' they don't respond beats speaking to myself in the back of beyond I talk to the trees tho' they never reply my words go unanswered don't ask them why I talk to the trees tho' they have little to say so the men...

Under the tree where the bodies hang swaying, dancing in the gelid breeze neath their rotting toes, the children sang; slow circling a boy; they taunt and tease. "It's your father and your mother, too," they chant, as one, fiery eyes aglow, "Who dance on the rope, and soon will you." to the cadence of a cawing crow. "We'll slice you up and...

As the smiles in the cloud brighten, a cloudburst of joy sends gentle kisses on our rooftops, pouring down clouded tears— bottled-up emotions to quench the thirsts of humans, plants, animals... and phantoms. The trees— with feet rooted deep in earth— stood humble as a worm. The birds~ ...

Spring brought forth the dusting of grandeur The blossom exploding from baring bud, Showering lawns with lilac dander. A benediction bound in nature’s love. Branches laden, heavy with flowers Sweet adulation in perfumed repose, Beauty distinct fragrant overpowers Consuming the senses is manic throes. Then it fruits, its summery shift To languish berries bright bursting red For us to pick as the seasonal gift Before the...

The trees remember what the axe forgets. The mirth of lovers romping on the loam. The light that filtered through in golden nets, and beasts that roamed for shelter in the gloam. A broken branch still weeps for a birdsong. Its tears of sap, the proof of unseen scars, that cling to echoes hoping to prolong, a splintered life among the fallen...
