Morning Mike. I love that you're looping back and enjoying this piece. I, too, clearly love writing about tree!!! And, if you haven't already, speaking of trees, you should read Richard Powers novel The Overstory. It's not poetry, but it's beautiful and poetic!
I love a good tree poem. and this is a fantastic one!

Trees in poems! Like a forest.
I loved this. The theme within it and the characters you create here. This is masterful.
Thanks David! I spend so much time in the woods I figure I need to show these trees some love!
You and George are a powerful combo Rich. And this one was particularly inspiring for me. Beautifully done!
Thanks much Peter!!! Here's hoping we see you guys in DC!
'beneath it all,
clandestinely,
they whisper
to each other
through tiny tendrils
shallow in the soil,
seeking connections,
like lovers’ fingers
finding and entangling,
sharing secrets
and sensing
each other's needs'
