TREES

 

They tower majestically up to the sky

But bow their heads dutifully as I walk by.

Their arms wave in greeting - leaves whisper and sigh,

Boughs creaking and moaning seem almost to cry.

 

They're heavy with leaves of such different shapes,

The wind whirls them round just like green velvet capes,

Then frolic together like small playful apes,

Or twist round and round 'til they're thin narrow tapes

 

Such wonderful mixtures of shades can be seen

From the palest yellow to the darkest green

And various hues that blend in between,

As if some fine artist has painted a scene.

 

Then one day they're bare - their leaves are all gone

'tis then empty branches sing a different song,

but the things that ne'er change whatever is wrong

are those tall, lusty trunks remaining so strong.

 

Imagine a world quite bereft of all trees!

So where is the playground for every small breeze?

The clouds would be lost - they've no mantelpiece frieze'

'twould be like the sand dunes without any seas.

 

What would the bird do with no tree for its nest?

Our own scenic views would be merely 'half-dressed'.

Sadly we grumble that dropped leaves are a pest,

Let's be happy instead that we are so 'blessed'.

 

A STAR

 

What a wondrous thing of beauty you are

A beauty we only see from afar.

It seems that you shine from across the bay

Though you're really a million miles away.

And the pleasure you give on a clear cool night

When you seem to wink with your twinkling light

Why! Your brilliance so rare is beyond compare.

No wonder we mortals just stand and stare.
