“Forest Song the grass quiver tantalized well tuned strings plucked by those hands of the churning wind passing by…. passing by. the leaves gyrate in tune dancing on the chords echoing in the stillness whispering then and then to go on…. to go on. the sound of monkeys adding leafy rhythms with their jumps and […]

“Tree Weather Proverbs If the Oak is out before the Ash, T’will be a summer of wet and splash; But if the Ash is out before the Oak, T’will be a summer of fire and smoke. When the Hawthorne bloom too early shows, We shall have still many snows. When the Oak puts on his […]

“Mighty Oak Stand tall oh mighty oak, for all the world to see, your strength and undying beauty forever amazes me. Though storm clouds hover above you, your branches span the sky, in search of the radiant sunlight you count on to survive. When the winds are high and restless and you lose a limb […]

“Trees Trees are the kindest things I know, They do no harm, they simply grow And spread a shade for sleepy cows, And gather birds among their bows. They give us fruit in leaves above, And wood to make our houses of, And leaves to burn on Halloween And in the Spring new buds of […]
Poem_Gabriela Mistral
