“hi” 🪨🪨🪨

walking through the woods
eating a ripe banana
15 stones spell  “hi” 🦊❤️



 

the pause that refreshes

a job’s final step
should always be a good pause
to just sit... and be 🦊❤️

which way to go?


a fork in the trail
one goes up... the other down
oh which way to go 🦊❤️

 

delivery room

behind that red door
mother earth is filled with seeds
waiting to be born 🦊❤️



 

the beat goes on

a unique fungi
reminded me of a heart
so i took my pulse 🦊❤️





 

practicing quacking...

ducks are so lucky
water rolls right off their backs
i’d like to be one... 🦊❤️



 

standing tall

you stand towering
high above the puny poles
you may someday be 🦊❤️


 

transmitting warmth

as if telegraphed
a ray from the morning sun
warms a lonely cloud 🦊❤️

when it’s in high grass
better be safe than sorry
assume it has teeth

who goes there?

carved into the tree
strange words that make me wonder
who roams in these woods 🦊❤️

 

stability

even rock hard rocks
need someone to lean upon
they lean on each other... 🦊❤️

 

making it last

such joy to just hold
brand spanking new wiffle-balls
soon a ball of tape 🦊❤️



 

eye candy

these koi were not coy
like a box of jujyfruits
splashing their colors  🦊❤️




 

rise and shine


your petal blankets
still wrapped so tightly around you
waiting for the sun  🦊❤️

 

like clockwork

if i could stand still
from sun up until sundown
my shadow would not 🦊❤️

safety signalling

the drive thru window
has so much for me to read
my food is now cold... 🦊❤️



 

nature by a tko

man versus nature
when the world war is over
nature will prevail  🦊❤️

 

sunny side up

 from out of nowhere
“stop! turn around! look our way!”
sunny side up eggs!!! 🦊❤️

outhouse

those hard wooden seats
icy cold winter sundays
no snakes in winter! 🦊❤️

 

serenity

 oh what a grand thing
to be that big old gander -
king of his own pond  🦊❤️


 

d.i.y.

there is a beauty
to take this and to take that
and make it yourself  🦊❤️   (🪚🔩🧱🛠)

untiltled

i’m stumped what to write
or maybe that is the point
a stump has me stumped
stephanie lynn
...

untitled

imagine a heroic story or
a tale as old as time

a fantasy worthwhile
or a poetry book that rhymes

imagine art history titles
and a comic book or two

a biography, a best seller and a fancy
book review

i'd like to think your trunk is now pages in
a book instead of crackling firewood,
roasting... being cooked

so i'll continue imagining all the stories
and characters within
and leave your stump, your history,
counted in the rings
stephanie lynn
...

untitled

if trees could talk
if these walls could talk
the whispering of pines
joe conroy
...

untitled

the mighty tree stood alone
provided shelter to many who have flown
logs can't be their home
joe conroy
...

no longer oak-ay

rings marking my face
showing just how old i am
oh, how i have lived
normand chabot
...

tree talk

cut down - i'm showing my age
lean or fat, wet or dry
the chainsaw ended what nature intended
thomas might
...

untitled

round and round we go
wherever life can take us
we will roll forward
eileen brennan
...

untitled

all those years of feast
and also years of famine
in your very core
dan ravasio
...

untitled

years of life
time turns and turns
we continue to grow
june kushner
...

untitled

life measured by rings
time passes by way too fast
i hope i brought joy
ed tabish
...

the gift of giving

generous trees
offer food, shelter, beauty
last, a forest seat
marilyn
(inspired by "the giving tree" by shel silverstein)

untitled

how old is this stump?
just count the number of rings
amazing stories!
mary k fogleboch
...

rings of life

rings tell age thick thin
rough hard bark protects
chunk breaks through at end
elizabeth plunkett schalock
...

life

the rings on a tree bare its age
just like the wrinkles on one’s face
life is a treasure, age with grace
darlene cliver

logging his stories
year after year after year
the old oak tree

and i will tell you some secrets

warming sun

mom and baby seal
and a little baby boy
soaking up the d’s 🦊❤️

 

hurry up and wait


there’s nothing to do
but stay close at hand - and wait
he waits - and watches 🦊❤️


 

lucky ladybug

little lady bug
crossing a busy walkway
luck is with you still 🦊❤️



 

on-off, come-go, up-down, start-stop

sunrise and sunset
shadows come and shadows go
just cycles of life 🦊❤️


 

heroic deed

my photo has saved
this fine family and pets
from a rainy end 🦊❤️
