Forest Poems
Magic in the Forest
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
A summer sun shines steadily on such spicy scented scenery,
As forest fairies frolick frivolously amidst full greenery.
Birds butterflies bees and blooms waft blissfully beautiful,
Making more memorable magic, on the mad mornings so musical!
The wild wondrous whimsicality arises when none's watchful,
So there's no tangible testimony to these totally bashful.
However, historically hidden in the habitual jade habitat,
Fabled fairies frequent sun faceted forests secrets intact!
Environmental Legacy
by Aloo Denish Obiero
Our lasting legacy lies not,
In the towering stone structures,
But in,
The forests we nurture,
The oceans we safeguard, and
The skies we keep pure.
Hug A Tree
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
When in doubt, hug a tree...
When you can’t find a tree, hug on me...
Be it a maple, a sycamore or a pine...
Any tree will do; any tree is fine...
We must love our forests...
We must love our trees...
We must respect our lands...
If you wouldn’t mind, please...

Unburdened
by Benjamin Wolf
Like a freshly fallen fruit on the forest floor you are shining, and clean, and new.
Your skin still soft and unblemished as you land in the gentle hands of a thousand blades of grass.
You roll and roll and see such sights among a golden sea of dandelions and wonder at the marvels that surround you. A soft rain hastens you along your way, cold and refreshing like shade on a summer day.
Then the rain slows and you along with it, until you’ve stopped completely.
Days and nights pass like lightning in a storm as you wait and wait and wait and wait for something more to come.

Seasons Change
by Jude Harding
burning umber of fire
swirl from the trees
igniting a true desire
all your soul I need
waiting for you to heed
changing with the seasons
for all is leaving
wisps of light pour through
ghosts of the night
till we start a new

84. Life Untouched
by Kea Campbell
Flowers blossom, blooming allergies.
Every eye, sightly blessed.
Spring!— attacks my immunity and I whiff defeat.
Nonetheless, a treat by scent.
Even us alone, the wind knows no hush.
Whispering through evergreens.
Articulating each leaf.
Talking to the river, who gossips downstream.

A Death That Grieves No Stranger
by Patti Masterman
A death that grieves no stranger
Is witless as a mouth
That deaf eyes do not fathom
Mute singleness of route
As pines a troubled forest
For signs of seeded quarry
We herald the dumbest signpost
To break the traveler's story
A death that grieves no stranger

The Trees of Life
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
The trees of life…
They crave our attention…
We show our love…
Is there no redemption…
We love of children…
From the day they are born…
We nurture their love…
Protect them from the thorn…

The Tangled Forest
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
orange blossom scent
drifted from the verdant trees
as grasshoppers leapt
wildflowers blossomed
and birds sang from green mansions
as spun gold poured down
butterflies wandered
winding river found its way
