Through my life certain trees have stood out in my memory so I decided to write a poem for each of the trees I have connected with over the years.
Sweet Sakura
Sweet Sakura showers,
Candy floss flowers,
Her fleeting blossom blows
Wild petal pink snows.
Each moment loved and captured,
As her blousy blooms are brief,
Relishing in the rapture
For time is like a thief.
(Hannah Semple)
Lady of Grace
Lady of grace,
Your silvery wood,
A pioneering presence
When you once stood.
Enigmatic elegance,
Tall and slender,
Your purity shone
With perfect splendour.
Sorrow sprang
When your beauty fell,
For I was enchanted
By your fertile spell.
Noble Pear
Noble pear,
Standing there,
Your gracefulness
Without compare.
Tall and proud,
Branches wide,
Laden with your
Female pride.
So many years,
So much seen,
You stand alone
As crone,
As queen.
Laburnum
Pensive beauty,
Her golden boughs
Tumbling
Like warm summer rains.
Forsaken,
Her sunshine blooms
Shrouding
Poison in her veins.
Lethal enchantress,
She is resplendently
Captured
In her dazzling chains.
