Overgrown [Haiku]

a building's corner
 shows like the edge of a face,
  under a tree's coif

Tree as Totem [Haiku]

the world beyond
 the nearest tree
  often feels suspect.

Stony Shore Living [Haiku]

a tree on the shore, 
in stony ground & briny
water, thrives!

Light Lover [Haiku]

one shaggy branch
cranes out over the shore,
receives light reward

Nature Stacks [Haiku]

tree sits on boulder,
its roots curled over rocks;
child sits on the roots

Sleepy Owl Limerick

In the forest there was a stately, old owl
who intended to go out on the prowl,
but before he vamoosed
his cozy tree roost
he fell asleep, throwing in the towel.

Fig in the Wall [Lyric Poem]

It doesn't need wide open spaces.
It doesn't need direct sunlight.
No bark-wide chasm through the tombstone --
Gardner, leave that tree alone.

Hey, Gardner, leave that tree alone!
All in all, it's just another fig in the wall.
All in all, we're just a bunch of figs in the wall.
