B E A U T I F U L :)))))) right outside my window is an old (I forget what its called...damn it) something something tree. It's one of the oldest trees in town. It's some sort of birch because it sheds its skin. I speak to it often. Tell it how much beautiful it is and thank it for housing so many magnificent birds. And on stormy days, I worry about it. Especially when the wind blows hard.
Freaking awesome, Ben. We had to cut down two HUGE trees in our front yard in the past year and oh, how I miss their shade! It was like losing two old friends. xoxo
Love your tree haiku
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brudberg :-)
DeleteThat was a lovely haiku :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Cinta! Made me smile to see you on here :-)
DeleteThis was brilliant !!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, GS!
DeleteLovely set..but the second one tugs at my heart ~
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely not a tree! I've moved so many times I've lost count...
ReplyDeleteDesert Home
Me as well.
DeleteThe first is so nostalgic, the second kind of sad. I wonder how many people 'die' inside from being uprooted?
ReplyDeleteIt's fairly common.
DeleteBeautiful poem and I love both but the first touched my heart..
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, so hopeful.
DeleteFinely crafted haiku.
ReplyDeleteThank you :-)
DeleteA home should represent safety, a refuge from the world.
ReplyDeleteThat it should.
Deletethe line "dying if it moves" really resonates with me. excellent choice of picture as well.
ReplyDeleteI really felt that line, Aguilar.
