“The Old Tree The old beech tree, so green and gray! How oft I’ve heard thee, whispering say, With beckoning branches waving low, “”Rest here, where cooling breezes blow!”” And in thy shadows deep and dark, How oft I’ve touched thy cool gray bark; And still I bless thee, old beech tree, For old sweet […]

“Craggy Tree You are so monumental to me, With sun behind you truly shine, Scraggy tree, birds love to nest In your knobby boughs, so blest, The winds that roar in open fields Blasting no fright under your yields. How spry you be my gracious one, Good stay for wings in burning sun, I love […]

“The Presence of Trees I have always felt the living presence of trees the forest that calls to me as deeply as I breathe, as though the woods were marrow of my bone as though I myself were tree, a breathing, reaching arc of the larger canopy beside a brook bubbling to foam like the […]

“Growth of a Tree I’m a little maple, oh so small, In years ahead, I’ll grow so tall! With a lot of water, sun, and air, I will soon be way up there! Deep inside the soil my roots are found, Drinking the water underground. Water from the roots my trunk receives, Then my trunk […]

“Woodland (Triolet) Sunrays are slanting through the trees While the sweet tiny bluebells sway In sweet summertime’s blowing breeze Sunrays are slanting through the trees While the sweet tiny bluebells sway In the warmth of the tender day Sunrays are slanting through the trees While the sweet tiny bluebells sway By Marian”

A little fawn sits behind his back, Nothing doth he lack, Even rabbits sit beside him; He always smiles and is […]

“Our Tree When spring comes round, our apple tree Is very full of flowers, And when a bird sits on a branch The petals fall in showers. When summer comes, our apples tree Is very full of green, And everywhere you look in it There is a leafy screen. When autumn comes, our apple tree […]

“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 […]
