we dart from tree to tree
and seeking equilibrium we paw at the leaves
that lying on the ground
speak of only platitudes and
laughing as we miss
dart away back up the trees
to laugh at us above.
we seek to hide
but hiding seek the
the path through the trees.
The leaves jumping now
from tree to tree
laughing
we don’t hear that titters
the raucous belly laughs
focusing on hiding
in the trees
by the stream
in the broad daylight.

Leaves rustling as if laughing
While the wind gently caress each leaf
Branch a-swaying, fluttering
To the music that only the trees can hear

I can hear rustling leaves while reading your poem ?
it is a part of feeling nature around us!
That is one of the things I miss the most about where I lived in Latvia. There were many forests to wander through and I really enjoyed that.
Florida has forests, but sometimes it isn’t very safe to walk around in them!
Cool poem. I love being in nature and mind always wonders.
i agree it is why I love the chance to be in nature every day!!!
Walking through the woods is always relaxing and full of pleasant surprises, dear friend
it very much is pal, sometimes you even see things you didn’t ever expect!
It can surprise you a lot …. I hope I won’t be a bear once
i actually came across a bear when walking in a state park north of where we live. I stopped, he stopped (or she stopped) I was about 100 feet and looking for a place to run to. But the bear turned around and went the other way.
I think you were really lucky, dear friend ….. you probably weren’t hungry or you were smart when you didn’t panic
i did have bear spray if he got too close.
It was one of my favourite games. In the trees is fun but one can get lost. Nice poem.
it is a very old poem, i wrote it when I was about 15
That is interesting. And you’ve kept the poem all those years.
i wrote them all down in a notebook. I kept all 15 notebooks!
Hi Doc. Glad to see my old fighting friends here again.
we have missed you! Glad you found your way back!!!
