Tracy, since the other thread was so long I closed it and opened this new one. (I hope you don't mind). Here is the link to the old thread and I am not unpinning it or anything.

He plants the friend of sun and sky;
He plants the flag of breezes free;
The shaft of beauty, towering high;
He plants a home to heaven anigh
For song and mother-croon of bird
In hushed and happy twilight heard -
The treble of heaven's harmony
These things he plants who plants a tree.
~ Henry Cuyler Bunner,
the Heart of the Tree
Here's a haiku I wrote in 6th grade~I still remember it after all these years:
An ancient oak tree
standing in a meadow sweet
scarred with signs of life
Great poetry girls! Always loved nature inspired poems and writings. Thanks for posting!!
Sue, how awesome that you wrote that in 6th grade; but what exactly is a haiku?
Tracy, thanks for giving me the okay. I decided to expand it from just poetry to quotes as well. Maybe proverbs and other stuff too. Whatever anyone wants to post...thus the etc. in the title.
- Psalms 1: 1-3
We have nothing to fear and a great
deal to learn from trees, that vigorous and pacific tribe which without stint produces strengthening essences for us, soothing balms, and in whose gracious company we spend so many cool, silent and intimate hours. - Marcel Proust
Hi All,
I have a new site to get trees planted and would like a few poems or statements about trees so anyone wanting to contribute anything like that to TreesAreLife.org please let me know.
Thanks and Peace,
Steve
I can't speak for everyone else but I would share anything I post. However, the poems aren't written by me and most can be found on the internet. It's great you have a new tree site; however the link brings me to a Care2 page.
