Best Lemon Tree Poems

It was a big backyard,
big enough to hold
the imagination of a boy -
trees to climb, 
sheds to explore,
a large lawn to swing a bat 
or kick a ball
and in a quiet corner, 
a sanctuary for prayer
when my grandmother, 
bent over and groaning 
with angina, had...

I check my little lemon tree every day with delight,
The new baby lemons are just growing out of sight.
The lemon tree lives on my patio and loves the sun,
And picking those giant lemons is such fun!

The last one picked was like a grapefruit, huge in...

where I sit to ponder life

I know the land
where the lemon-tree flowers
Autonomous region in Sicily
Those beautiful beaches
seducing the travellers
Sicani people around 8,000 B.C.

I know the land
where the lemon-tree flowers
the largest island in the Med sea
Greek temples and churches
to while away hours
Natural wonders a plenty

I know the land
where the lemon-tree flowers
Mount...

Nothing unusual blossomed to welcome spring
But yet, we marvel at the growth
of the heart's resilience

~

In this early morning's half-lit hour
to watch her fondle the branch of sour fruit,
we see her smile,.....reassured....

It makes one's eyes sting
As if they were
burned by the fruit's tangy juice

He would have...

I know the land where the lemon- tree flowers,

I have seen it's pretty blooms

And it has the fresh clean scent of you,

I've seen the pretty lemon citric fruit,

I love it's taste and its flavour

In the same way that I love the taste of you,

You are...

Lemon tree very pretty 
it was a summer night many years ago
woke, thought I heard the whimpering
of a baby, thought it was a dream,
Woke up again my wife was not there
by my side but in the garden where she
had made a hole under a lemon...

Luxurious little lemon tree
in the freshest garden next to a pea
was heartily happy and wildly free
She could be herself, and forever see
Chickadee’s nest and a drilling bee.

There was a haunting melody
Somewhere nearby a dog had dropped a D.
A forensic fellow’s forward-thinking fee
giggled a glorious glitzy...

Yellow green citrus clean lemon tree lime
In the meadow of sublime
Too easy to change your mind

Open the door to shut your heart
Being dumb to outsmart
Smile the smile finish to start

Green yellow sunny fellow
Sweetly sour girl mellows
Show your quivering spine of Jell-o

Crying out loud to laugh...

You played a small part in “The Dirty Dozen”.
However, I never saw you in a movie again.
You had some more success in the recording studio.
There are a couple of hit songs I am happy to know.
Those are, “If I Had a Hammer”, and “Lemon Tree”.
Both...

Refrain I 

"I know the land where the lemon-trees flower,
whispering beautiful secrets that shall soon devour,
savoring that flavor with the tiny hint of sour. 
All the loveliness in nature can never be compared,
lifting up our senses as the butterflies glared. 

Chorus

A gorgeous marvel has come...

Skirting church on Puig de Missa,
then down the slope towards the river,
St Eularia's Rui, with path that winds on to the sea.
Past the smelly goats, where poking little
fingers get nibbled, and goat-dribbled
through the fence. 

Billy stands high on outcast fridge and
watches babies butt their silly...

I know the land where the lemon tree flower
It is a magical place known to only a few
It smells of lilac and roses after a gentle shower
It could be a terrific haven for me and you.

Rich fine verdant leaves completely awe the landscape.
The sky is...

*lemon tree filled*
*with colorful melody*
*blubbering    hearts*
*and lumbering   luminosity*
*it’s countenance cheering upward*
*ferocious in it joyful cacophony*
*spreading wide its branches*
*buffet of pluming propensity*
*bullish in its  bittersweet*
*its red and yellow sweets*
*swathed     resurrection*
*Summer-squeeze of fruity leaves*
