Lady

by George Hoerner

you are a tree
deep rooted
in the spring
you produce
new growth
your leaves
give respite
from the heat
i crawl through
your branches
and you
give me
peace

07/15/1980

The straight forward simplicity of this is very charming, George.

thank God or thank Joyce Kilmer for trees and for George who seeks to crawl in them looking for peace. Who cannot adore this metaphor?

One of the most beautiful poems I've ever read, George! Very nice!

Very nice George. Pardon the pun, but I always like to check out other writers' roots (1984).

PS: I see you've revised that to 1980.

A most appropriate analogy. Romantic and steadfast.

Good one George--the metaphor works both ways...

This was beautiful to read.
