Best Pine Poems

A magic place, lone tree at forest’s side
A huge wolf pine that stands alone like me
It marked a boundary once where sheep would hide
Beneath green needled branches of that tree

It’s where I always go when things go wrong
I pull the forest’s shadows over me
And watch...

Among a stand of pines I lived my life,
blissful in the ignorance of my own fate.
Tall and proud, my fellow trees and I
stood along a ridge that overlooked a lake -
its crystal surface mirroring our beauty.

Underneath big sky 
and seeming to lean against a mountain,
we...

moravian star
silver
glitters atop tree
golden
garland waves
grace
evergreen

free-spirited
ornaments
amaze
the windows
of the soul

all eyes
orbit
‘round
blinking pine

lights
call the family near
so dear
it’s Christmas
this year

the tallest I’ve ever seen was in primary
towering like a General in the military
a haggard expression of pain and disgust
the needle like leaves his ooze would discard
he seemed so staunch in his camouflage and upright salute
the pinecones resembling a grenade assault 
as curious children do,...

My Friend Pine Tree 

Away, quite away from my nearby Allen Forest
One day I was moving on a hill top 
On a Himalayan mountain hill
I found myself standing 
Before a beautiful and majestic Pine tree

The tree was tall and beautiful
The wind was blowing,  its...

this baby pine
had two young branches 
growing entwined
I untwined the branches
set them free
now each will find 
his own sun...

pine
needles
turn amber
get ready, fall
oak leaves turn red drop
cedars stay  green
some change comes

Like the oak, standing tall
Among the pines and juniper trees,
She remains strong – never releasing a tear,
Always prepared to reassure her kids,
Sooth and encourage, whisper 
Hope into the prayers that will not fade,
Prayers for the moments – one at a time,
The passage of a life,...

Adopted early after birth
Replanted back into the earth
From small to tall, a tiny root
Withstanding all and resolute

It whispered and it whistled
Every wind song that it knew
It's verdant needles bristled
Glistening in frost and dew

A friend to all both large and small
Seeking refuge in it's shade
To rest...

A beautiful breeze touches the branches of the evergreen,
The branches come to life as if they were dancing.

The branches a gentle green,
Clusters of pinecones can be seen.

On a windy day the pinecones fall from the branches,
Falling gently on the green grass.

The pinecones have a delicate...

Inside a deep pine 
forest
where morning mist still 
lingers
an unknown bird takes 
away
my unfinished dreams.

Dappled light touches grass 
tips
wakes them up with soft 
caress
whispers to them morning 
song
kisses tiny crowns.

Light and shade play hide 
and seek
among them now all my 
dreams
waiting for butterfly wings
to take...

"Crumbling is not an instant act..."

Why do we find old buildings beautiful,
books, whose pages are crumbling to dust;
weatherworn wooden doors once...

white keys of birch trees 
black keys of spruces and pines -
