It’s not in my disposition, to skimp when writing a verse

I’d rather think others find my work more distinguished

Although, if they find it awful that would be much worse

I’d have to escape to London, to study the Queen’s English

Each day, sounds of whispers
A rustle of leaves, but not quite
Near the bushes, they gather
To bid the day goodnight

Making a canopy, over the road
Each to the other, very quietly
No humans, can ever be around
This is the secret life of trees

Faces begin to appear on trunks
As the sun sets, with swiftness
Careful not to draw attention
They never want an eyewitness

For if the humans find them out
They will surely cut them down
And this is why you never hear
A tree, when it hits the ground

They’ll never make a noise, a thud
Or cry out loudly, in sudden pain
People would know their secret
And they’d never show faces, again

So, every time you pass by trees
Remember, they have feelings, too
Be kind, and let them live in peace
It’s the least we humans can do…

There is always such silliness over semantics

In linguistics, I’m grateful I am still quite naïve

When it comes to logic, some words are too gigantic

For me to even understand, let alone perceive

FOWC with Fandango – Semantics

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”. You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you. More info can be found in the link below.

I’ll count to ten
I know not when
I’ll find the ones now hiding

They’ve run from me
Far from this tree
I hear their giggles subsiding

I wonder if they’ll notice
I haven’t moved an inch
Cause I can see, just where they are
This game is such a cinch!

I think I will stay right here
Use the tree to rest my bones
Dunk my toes into the lake
Across the water, skip some stones

That definitely sounds better to me
Than to run around in the sun
Sorry, gang, you’re on your own
I’ve found my own way of fun
