Properties Of Trees

Some natural and not so natural ideas about trees

Properties Of Trees

Trees own the land they are on

Anchored by gravity and roots

Fed by soil nutrients they are in

Sand is not always friendly

Some don't think but whistle on the breeze

Or weep with willows in the field

They have no hands to speak of

But with palms and coconuts they pray for rain

Greens and browns seem to be their favorite colors

But we can't vouch for branches

That break or bough at every chance between the drops

Trees live in numbers

Trees exist

Photosynthesis sees to it

Forests make them up to touch the sky

Animals are visitors

Refugees who use their properties

Some species don't communicate

Translating into timber, becoming lumber

Trees grow farther than the forest path

Standing tall along the shaded walk

Reach out to snow and woodland creatures

Deciduous ones lose their leaves

But not their character

Grounded with no where to go

Trees grow
