Tree Song

maybe more for the kids eh' kids

Tree Song

 

How could

one not poem

such

a magnificent

tree

A tree such as

that

as wide as its tall

and as broad as

its fat

A musical marvel

as the wind

blows through

and bumbling bees

do what

bumble bees do

As songbirds

Do sing

And the doves

They do coo

As woodpeckers

Peck

and the crows

They do caw

We can

all just lay back

and we can

watch and listen in awe

You poemed that tree magnicifently Mister. And I'm not absonitely sure, but bumble bees do what we are all doing these days, bumble around looking for something to do, then decide it's easier just to bumble about, yhen go looling for something easier to do.
When I'm all growded up, I want to be a poemater, just like you.

[Neville]

we are surrounded by such trees, all so wonderful.
in Maui there also such a tree (You have quite likely been there), think it is a Banyan (?)
in the center of a small park, which is always absolutely loaded with birds making an incredible amount of (nice) noise
That enjoyable spot is where your write took me
Nicely done

[Neville]

Thank you so much for taking a moment to consider these words my friend, a much appreciated visit and true.... Never been to Maui, except for in my dreams, maybe day :)

This poem brings me to think that the tree is a cosmos in itself. From the roots to the trunk and the crest. There are countless microcosms, universes and worlds within worlds. There must be lives lived, battles fought, intrigue and retribution, all in this single, tall and broad tree. Sets imagination soaring.

Your poetry, in simple words of wonderment and joy pulls one deeper into the mystique of nature and life always and I have begun to appreciate it so. A fine offering sir!

[Neville]

you are most kind sir and much appreciated.. thank you.. Neville

I am a tree hugger so really appreciated this write. I love the movement and sounds of trees through the seasons and if our avian friends are present too, that makes the whole experience even more uplifting. I am so thankful for my garden at the present time, more so than usual. Nature is a healer and uplifter of spirits. Lovely work Neville.
