To have to stand in the pouring rain
To lose your foliage over and over again
To be climbed on and cut up by man and child
To give up and fall over when the wind gets too wild
To stand tall for years watching them all come and go
To give homes to the birds like robins and sparrows
To take all the punishment that man can give
To provide the oxygen they require to live

calm stream bubbles down smooth stone rocks. sunshine glitters off little crashing waves. sweet grasses sway with pretty flowers. puffy white clouds float blue skies for days.
Soapy froth of the sea Peaceful you lay and be. But your waters are dark with thick mud. Bubbles made, but they're not suds. Why is it your waters are grim. They cause you to drown rather than swim.
The icy cold air consumes my breath. It's sensation so refreshing to taste. Amazed. I stop and take a firm step. As snow falls graciously upon my blushed face. The journey to earth is meandering.
#acorn I've loved you since my seed was planted. Your smell.... so sweet. Like forests and rain. Your eyes....clear, bright. I fell in so long ago. Ancient trees, reaching to the skies.
I am the barren tree,. All the leaves have fallen - vacated,. I stand tall yet lonely,. I feel bare, completely naked,. Hundreds of years old I am,. The wise old lonely oak,.
The tree is bare, cold and lonely, Shivering, waiting for something. The one dark spot on all the lawn Is this tree, soon to be gone.
#acrostic Sleeping giants start to stir, Poking flowered fingers high. Returning flocks of courting birds Invade the windy, warming skies.
