Haiku Tree Tag
« on: May 25, 2007, 11:12 AM »
I'd like to do a haiku tag about haiku
to do with only

trees

Let's see if I can find some takers!



branches have more faith
to leave their limbs on the ground
leaves rest death on wind

leaves rest death on wind
roots deeply gripping earth
canopy cascades
I listen for each lonely breath.

canopy cascades
panoplies amplifying
tranquil reposing
Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles,
it only takes away today's peace.

sentinel crow's voice
heralds the coming of men
young boys climb old trees
I listen for each lonely breath.

young boys climb old trees
old men sit reminiscing
resting in the shade
Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles,
it only takes away today's peace.

resting in the shade
in the leaves of dogwood trees
hummingbirds waiting
I listen for each lonely breath.

to carve initials
into a grand old oak tree
lovers' tradition
I listen for each lonely breath.
