Seduced By Trees

there is a
sensual seduction
by trees
tempting you
in green
as they wave
outstretched to touch
with branched arms
calling your name
as you walk near
whispering secrets
in tender rustles
do you turn to
accept sap advances
while they shade
the trickle of heat

Short and sweet.  Great imagery.  Standing in a woods.  That's where I see myself in your words.  Don't you wish trees could tell you stories?  Tell us what they have seen over the centuries?  Thanks for sharing your poem.

Wonderful, so much said, so much to read between the trees

Enjoyed.

I guess I've become a corrupted old toad because I kept reading "women" everyplace I saw "trees" -

As everyone else says, Slick, this is a wonderful write and I much enjoyed seeing it.
