Yew Poems - Poems about Yew

I took a trembling island by the hand— Barefoot children, broken streets, A people shamed by foreign tongues, Their dignity pawned for crumbs of aid. I did not wait for the West to love us. They called me tyrant, Because I silenced the noise That kept my people in chains. They praised democracy— Yet their own hands were stained With centuries of empire and greed. I...

In an ancient square There is a yew tree wood Of such antiquity The tree roots writhe In the darkness of their own doing Up yet down, to infinity Amongst the limbs a dark man breathes The steam of his breath His only cloth The rime and earth Under his fingernails His only food Waiting to be never seen And preserving the holy hood He drips with...

We buried him under the large yew tree, We all wore thick face masks as they should be. The shade of the green yew tree was pleasant. Yet we all knew the poison there present. It was not his wish to bury him there. He died under the tree eating a pear. Little bothering about deadly fumes His mind elsewhere humming her...

YEW TREE LODGE - Story poem When I was young we had a local witch, or so they said. Meg Reid at Yew Tree Lodge. That’s the legend we were fed The lodge was dark and forbidding, away from the street light’s glare. Surrounded by gnarled old yew trees, weirdly shaped and bare. They’d been there for two hundred...

St Oswald's church is huddled in the vale of Grasmere. Yew trees along avenues relinguish cones between the granite tombs in shadows decked, their muted roots reseed as tiny trailing fingers feel for loam with olive tips that dip through waves of sage. He planted seven trees where shadows grow beneath the marbled slabs, sad stones bewail the loss of fragile flesh;...

ii Ivy and Yew Sculpture Garden ii - CT I smiled when fir boughs hid from view Live floral statues in mystery With teasing eyes to see their clues In topiary forms set free. With ancient sculptors hand and eye Spirals born – laurel stars shine shy Fox and hounds racing on the lawn While ivy hearts wink at the dawn. Castle walls made...

I want to merge with this old Yew, To travel through its rings of time. Back when it's sprout had just begun Near Blarney's river so sublime. Where ivy climbs the castle walls, A quaint sized foot bridge leads to where, The old strong Yew still charms today As autumn chills with crisp clean air. I felt compelled to climb it's limbs To sit...

The yew trees Were like staid old ladies in green skirts. They lined the way to the church door. Like the staid old ladies, They did not bow when the fancy vicar Walked the path, or asked him how he was. Like the ladies they were proud, And all brown leaves from fancy trees Annoyed him, just like they. ------------------------------------------------- 3/6/2015 Featured poem of the...

The bonsai mirrors your grace a miniature yew jade eyed searching through black needle lashes lust hidden inside. A yew pruned to perfection would out strip the forest fine, a single shutter caresses like limbs on the wind. With sweet clarity refined will be the bowed head of yew for our love is so inclined for generations....
