MARCH 2024 -- The Language of Trees X 2

POEM 1

Do trees spread news with rustling leaves

Or murmur messages through their roots

Do their branches shape a message

Are codes hidden in their bark

Perhaps their sap can transmit signals

Their smell create a telepathic link

I may never know the answer

But of one thing I am sure

The forest is never quiet

When trees decide to chat

++++

POEM 2

Did you know that trees chatter

When no one is around

They love to tease squirrels

Harmonize with bird song

They bicker with the wood sprites

Tell bedtime stories to forest babes

And while they love good gossip

There are secrets that they keep

They will never rat on sasquatch

They’ve sworn to hide all faery homes

And as for Cooper hunters . . .

Well, that gives the trees a laugh

Yet they’re never going to tattle

And speak of that strange time

When the skies made a deposit

And money did grow on some trees!
