Written for: The Twiglets #176 – “gossiping trees”
Keep away from me,
Elm. That Dutch
disease may arise again.
Would you just look
at that cherry, always
weeping.
Japanese maple
burgundy feathers sway
looks like an umbrella
There once was a willow tree who wept
tears into a lake who could not accept
such morbid behavior
so acting as savior
said, why weep willow, do the twelve steps

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York.
My goal is to create and share poetry with others
who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.
That was a fun direction –
Maple, Maple while your able
Put some syrup on my table 😉
