More fall poetry? Yes, please! Here is a fun poem I wrote this year that celebrates the whispers of autumn in nature and reminds us to take a moment to enjoy the beauty around us. Let’s appreciate the simple joys of the season together!

Poet-Tree

"Rest," whispers the tree
to the songbirds,
lending a limb
for a puase in flight.

"Splash!" says the tree
to the creek 
quenching
it's thirsty roots.

"Gentle!" murmurs the tree
to the wind
swirling around
it's trunk like a hug.

"Sip," says the tree
to the bee.
Together, we'll make
something beautiful.

"Welcome!" cries the tree
to the children
tiptoeing for sweet treats,
gift wrapped in orange peel.
