Five-lobed
floppy leaves amassed
into giant, prehistoric,
shade-feeding
patio umbrella stands;
worn, wind-loved,
security blankets
when wet amid
storm-sobbing,
trunk-sucking
thickets;
camouflaged
chlorophyll tattoos
tapping through
dendritic veins;
crimson,
cell wall
castaways,
signal flares set ablaze,
canopies crackling
skyward and underfoot
as Fall speaks of
sunlight’s decay;
now naked,
its striated torso
tosses to and fro,
contorted with
birthmark burl bark,
though ever
strong and sure,
Nature preserves
a perfect set
of climbing
furniture.

“storm-sobbing, trunk-sucking thickets” is the GREATEST LINE EVER!!!!! I BOW TO YOU…the MASTER!!!! lmao
Thank you, my friend! I am humbled by your high praise and consider you an accomplished and inspiration poet whose words ring just as true, if not truer. Hope you have a wonderful day 🙂

Would you like to know something?? I typically read your poetry aloud – because i love to hear the words and the way they roll, as well as the fact that reciting your poetry is good exercise for my tongue and lips! 🙂
Thank you, Kim! It pleases me to hear that you like to read my poetry aloud. It’s funny because when I write the words and say them in my head, it sounds readable, but when I voice them out loud, my tongue gets twisted and I am surprised when I slur a verb. Still need practice reading poetry, that’s for sure! Hope you had a wonderful day, my friend!
Cheers,
Tyler 🙂
