The Bush's Story




I was once just a lonely old overgrown bush;
  my mother was gone and I missed her.
When along came a man
                 with clippers in hand, -
and now I have brothers and sisters!

Wooden wedding




When, as a young branch,
                  I encountered the fence,
I thought there would surely be trouble,
But I learned that, to grow,
          I could "go with the flow";
and now we're an intimate couple!

floral courtship





If you were a sweet little flower
  awaiting your first tender kiss,
and a gentleman flower approached you,
could you go for a lover like this?

Maple mother







You think that all leaves should look just the same
when found on a maple tree.
Do all of your children look alike?
 Well, just look at mine and you'll see!

Small stones




My "small stones" are really a challenge.
 it's my rules that are costing me time:
the words have to fit in a rhythm,
and the lines have to end in a rhyme.

First I must capture a "moment,"
  then take a picture as well;
but mostly I have to remember
  that it must have a story to tell!

Tree dance




Most dancers dance with two arms,
 not many dance with three, -
but you use what you are given,
   if you're a dancing tree.

pelican land




Are threesomes serene in pelican land,
 or are they like you and me:
where sooner or later one is chased out
     in a bird-fit of jealousy ?
