Trees for You and Me Squashed into a plastic mold - It happened without warning One day just a little sprout Now root bound and bulging. Withering and rotting From the bottom up, Unnatural irrigation Retarding decomposition. Trees were meant to grow tall Profoundly into earth Far-reaching to the sun Historians for all time. Musical scores with the wind Leaves and limbs dancing, Foundation strong and sound Mother to squirrel and sparrow. Constricted by modern invention Created for and by the upright Artificial transplantation Is forcing fabrication. © 2000 Corinne Bailey [This message has been edited by Corinne (edited 08-03-2000).] |

Corinne~ As I look out across the lake and see the spiring of the Cypress trees ... I can appreciate your poem so much. 'Musical scores with the wind Leaves and limbs dancing' The wind plays their favorite tune and they sway in unison ... a treat to be seen for sure. Thanks for giving me a moment to pause and be thankful for their grace. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Corinne, you do the tree good service. We don't write enough about that which helps us breath and live. I'd love lay beneath the willows weep to touch the nape of neck whose heart I seek oh do be kind and be my willow girl amd I'll hold you tight benieth its lazy furl... Park |
