Trees Poems
Trees
by Harry Behn
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 green.

The Last Tree
by Lauren Fitzgerald
There she stands, on her worn out feet
Perched on the quaked, lifeless soil
Her fragile branches pressing against the eternal heat
While their last yet brazen leaves cling on despite turmoil
All it takes is a leap of faith
To continue living even when the unlike stops
To preserve and keep alive one’s green wraith
As the mirage of an approaching elixir runs through her lifeless lops.
Her legs, now sore from the continuous wait for a fictional bliss
The tiny flicker of hope now slowly fades away

Windswept Night
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
bluster in moonlight
all around lime trembling trees
and through fragrant fields
in a far flung dream
to be everywhere at once
under diamond stars
blooms have lost petals
there's howling in the valley

Trees In The Garden
by David Herbert Lawrence
Ah in the thunder air
how still the trees are!
And the lime-tree, lovely and tall, every leaf silent
hardly looses even a last breath of perfume.
And the ghostly, creamy coloured little tree of leaves
white, ivory white among the rambling greens
how evanescent, variegated elder, she hesitates on the green grass
as if, in another moment, she would disappear

I Fell for Fall
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Fall
captured
my blithe heart
Such parting songs
on pretty pathways,
with colors in my eyes
Crisp days of cool circumstance
and fires at flickering evening
Final flowers stain the grass with hues
Filled with goodbye blues, the sun's retreating.

A Dear Tree
by Pijush Biswas
Not to touch, not to climb!
Its breakable for tender limb!
I would claim upon every fellow
As mellow fruits grew yellow.
'Twas a Guava tree on courtyard-
Shrill sound of chirping bird
Or, shadow of the fruit tree
'Oft led me to get relief out of lee.

the fair den o' alyth
by J. Burgess
plant me somewhere nice,
somewhere up the fair den o’ alyth
next to a pine tree or hanging willow
just plant me somewhere nice!
i’ll absorb and swallow
through my eyes and mouth
i’ll spring out soil -
pleading out my hands
touching the sky.

Trees/Дерева
by Halyna Myroslava
Antennas whiskers
Sprout through the skin
of the great earth like Noah
Ark has been gone through the flood
into the new Beginning
Profiles remaining on
Each single leaf forehead
Willing to hug you and uplift you
being the vital water
of inspirations

A Pretty Day
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
stately tall and green
lofty trees touch turquoise sky
curved path in between
silky breeze caress
summer's on a redbird high
clouds join sunshine guild
profusion perfumes
flowers color Wednesday hours
