Walnut and Peanut

When, once, a peanut and a walnut met,
as covered by the Iowa Gazette,
the question good folks asked was whether
these two nuts could go together.
As a kitchen cook, I must insist -
these two nuts can co-exist. 

walnut what knot shelf

1950’s walnut what-knot-shelf
small compartments with tiny doodads
crystal doohickeys and miniature thimbles
variety of teensy ceramic trinkets
displayed in woman’s living room
every mother I knew had one back in the day
1950’s go-to accessory for the modern woman

walnut tree was now slightly blemished
deer had done lots of damage
getting his antlers off
tree did not mind
felt like a willing partner
available every year
he smiled as white tail flew into thicket

One Walnut at a Time

Black Walnuts roll over a high edge,
the tree is too close to a sea cliff.

Walnuts dash themselves upon rocks,
only one lands on a surfing wave.
It has not been bitten,
by tunneling insects
and so it remains watertight.

On a far beach it is washed up.
A boy finds it,
he is not sure if he wants to keep it
yet he

Rum n Raisin 12 - And Walnut Makes Three

Raisin said, “Rum, I’m beginning to see
that there will be times when we cannot agree.
Disputes shouldn’t leave us at a complete loss
So I think it’s proper that I should be boss.”

Rum gave a stare that was more of a glare
And said, “Hey up, Sister, you hold it right there.
Hark at you sitting there, giving it

Fourth and Walnut

. for public domain

Fourth and Walnut, so fine, so chic,
what a place for God to speak,
or for that matter, Satan too.
Both would like a word or two.

So Merton opened up his soul,
as if standing on a knoll
in his Kentucky, US of A,
offered up his heart that day.

God's Love came pouring like a stream,
drowning Satan's evil

Nutty

recalcitrant nut
will not yield its hidden heart
resists invasion
patience gone where is hammer?
walnut obliterated.

Walnut Hill

By Dawne Zacharias

Walnut Hill was a favorite place for us
When the snow had covered the ground
The sledders would go and the saucers would glide
there was no other place, in our winter town
then dear old Walnut Hill.

We'd look outside, the snow four feet deep 
We would jump out of our sacs and go
With our scarves, hats,

- Walnut Tree -

The old walnut tree in the meadow weep
Time had arrived her strains in sorrow steep

Echoes of a nameless and powerful storm break in
I feel shivers on my bare skin

I would like to touch and hug it, before it dies
The roots of the tree pointing up towards the skies

In the backyard of mourning, distant in all

Can I Crack Open a Walnut - For You

Like a lost firefly my mind strays 
Concealed like a ripe walnut
My heart is shelled by enclosure 

Waiting to be cracked open... 
To be served on platinum trays 
For whom ever needs some exposure

 
My donation of hope and faith... 
Or perhaps you need just a little love 
If you need some, it's yours to

Save the Walnut: Inspired By the Overstory

There’s not a sound
In the woods
But for the lone, heavy
Thump
Of a walnut
Shed
From its tree
To the ground,
Re-affirming
That the Earth
Is not hollow.

I’m startled by the thud, so thick, so full
It could be a bull
Stomping its hoof into a dry field,

But, the Earthy wallop reveals
An abundance

From underneath,
A community of roots
Braid together like the synapse connections
Of a human brain,
So

A Walnut Tree

a walnut tree -

the fruits of its labor

The Walnut

Out the back
Behind gran's house
Halfway down the street.
The little yard with the mangle.
And the narrow concrete strip path
That led to the other end,
Where the walnut tree ruled.

A musty tangled wilderness
Of corrugated iron and wire.
Only bluebells were allowed
To grow in the cool shade
Of the walnut tree.

Spreading it's branches.
Like an urban exile camouflaged Subjects
Wood ants foraged it's
