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

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

if trees could talk
if these walls could talk
the whispering of pines

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

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

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

years of life
time turns and turns
we continue to grow

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

the gift of giving

generous trees
offer food, shelter, beauty
last, a forest seat

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

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