My love affair with trees started when I was oh so young. The swing on a branch at the end of my garden is where it had all begun. I swung back and forward, singing little tunes to the tree and birds above. They joined in the chorus with sweet love. In later years I carved my name with a lover or two. The tree did not mind a jot, as many lovers’ names adorned its bark. Further years rolled on and I studied their diseases, listened to their creaking, and wheezes. When tired or sad would hug a tree and receive comfort you see. They stand so majestically and tall through the years. I have aged faster than them. Have more wrinkles on my face and skin. Their bark still the same, gnarled and brown. My hair, a straight white crown. Our lives have always been entwined and when I am gone they will still be around. Lovers’ history and much more, etched on their outer skin for all eternity.
I love writing and reading poems, not so much the classics these days but knew fresh stuff I find that exciting. New styles and new ideas. Some people paint, or write books or do crafts to get the inside out, me I do poetry and read the inside of folk I love to write fun and nature poems the best though.
Akhtar thank you for that I do feel a sense of awe when I walk in the woods. My imagination runs rife when I hear their whispers and creaks its like they talk to me. Oh well being a little crazy in this world helps one get by.
Loved it Johanna. I too have written a couple of times about trees. They are so tall and long-lived. If they could tell of all the y have seen through the centuries…

From when you sat in the swing and sang to the wrinkles on your face and the bark you are a part of the tree. You place us there with you and I can hear the breezes . Such a good write.
Well you’re one hopeless romantic Almost a border line lovesick fanatic But I wouldn’t change you not if I could I love your wet and sappy kisses And the way you hold me so tight I think I’m gonna pass
Through the narrow curves, of street, my mind, walked along the evening breeze; I reached Over the banks of a near-by lake, where I Used to sit in my college-days; with sweet Memories of girls, I loved, I remembered, Sitting
You and me, both have names But love has one that does have fame From time immemorial when life’s dream yet to born From a conch’s world that blew a song: A song of heaven, a smile of joy Where
My love is like a sparkling star That’s newly born in every moment O my love is like a melody That’s sweetly played in flute So sweet and pure love is yours That’s why so deep in love I’m I
