Cherry tree
Bright in the sunshine, /
the flowering cherry tree, /
rains pedals to earth.

“Skeleton of memories”
Skeleton of memories
Winter killed our tree. /
Don’t know if it was before, /
during, or after /
your death. Dead limbs hang barren: /
no buds, no leaves, no cherries. /
Skeleton of memories.

“Silhouette”
Silhouette
Bare tree, empty house: /
silhouetted by the setting sun, /
undressed by evening.

“Fainting tree”
Fainting tree
Oh, those fainting Christmas trees.
They are a sight to see,
Can’t be left alone, can’t be.
You went to spread some cheer,
So let me be clear,
It wasn’t me here,
It was the cat.
Like the serpent in the tree,
She tempted me
And now you see
Where we’re at.
She challenged me,
Said I couldn’t be free,
That there would be
No Christmas present for me
Unless I ran around the tree
And that’s when it went ker-splat.
It fainted dead away.
I don’t know what to say.
It fainted that way.
The power cord’s now frayed.
Yes, it happened today.
I blame the cat.
Yes, sparks flew,
There was a spark or two,
Arcing a translucent blue,
Singed the cat through and through.
No, I don’t know where she’s at.
So, those fainting Christmas trees,
Looks like they just can’t be
Left unattended, you see.
I think we can right the tree,
Set it up to be
Fully faint free
With no cat calamity
Without the cat.

“Morning”
Morning
Red, fall sky erupts, /
silhouetting naked limbs /
in trees and in me.

One
One raindrop hangs /
from one green cherry hanging /
on one young tree’s growth.

Photo finish Friday: “Shade”
Shade
The spring tree gives shade, /
even on a cloudy day, /
sometimes from the rain.

“Poised”
Poised
Wide-eyed cat above,
poised in a dogwood tree.
Icarus waiting.

Two cherry blossoms /
grace a young tree in April. /
Will there be fruit soon?

“One of these days”
One of these days
Oh tree, my tree,
Please hide me.
I want to stay
Away today.
I don’t want work
Nor stupid jerks
To come my way.
I want to be
By my little tree
And fill my my days
With poetry.
Oh tree, little tree
Stand by me.
Please, please
Hide me.
