I Am a Weeping Willow
Weeping my heart and soul out
My leaves are like teardrops falling from my lonely
eyes
I dance in the wind
My branches move like a dancer's arms
In an October storm
Tiny creatures nest in my textured hair
I welcome them with a promise to keep them safe
I yearn for someone to share my life with
Maybe an Oak or a Maple?
If only my friends hadn't abandoned me to become
someone's floor
I wouldn't be called a Weeping Willow anymore
For I would have friends of my own.

Elm Tree
Free Elm tree,
Freedom for the leaves
When fall comes near,
Wish I could,
But can't
Relax or think
Under your branches
As leaves of different
Colors fall down upon me,
But along I go
To school for six hours,
Be back after
|
Tree
Tree
Enormous, beautiful
Smiles, sways, shades
A lingering shadow above
Deciduous

The World is So Cruel
The world is so cruel
So polluted
My clean air substituted
The world is so cruel
So inefficient with energy
We don't have any chemistry
The world is so cruel
So greedy
Very needy
The world is so cruel
So you chop me down
With my trunk so beautifully brown
The world is so cruel
So can't you see
Why do you have to be so carefree

Pride
by Liz
Swaying in the noons soft breeze,
Dropping leaves whenever I please,
Leaning, bending, side to side,
Making noise all through the night,
Animals rest upon my branches,
Of course they like to sleep here,
For I rock them to sleep with mother's pride,
For I am a tree until the day I die.

TREES!
By Sierra
Trees: tall and bold
Trees: bright as light
Trees: silent and motionless
Trees: wordless and selfless
Trees: hollow or thick
Trees: high as the sky
Trees: bright as night
Trees: bright as light
TREES!

Trees
By Tyler S.
Trees: motionless warriors of the
forest,
Trees: always on guard,
Trees: always stand their ground,
Trees: numbers quickly depeting,
Trees: always being cut down,
Tree: this one shall never fall to the ground.
