On this Page, I plan to gradually collect my tree poems; with the goal of also creating a book down the road.

Thank you for your encouragement.

wind freeing the snow
from evergreen branches
waterfalls

one month ends
another begins
evergreen branches
frame the night sky

looking at trees
I remember prayers
of friends

August begins
one gold leaf
on the birch tree

tree branches
and leaves
in predawn breeze
sorrows begin to soften
and heal

reminding me
to love each day
one gold leaf
on the birch tree

all afternoon
the sounds
squirrel harvesting
pine cones

a few leaves
drift from the
birch tree
and reach the
last of the lilies
