nosy tree poem  (  a  p o e t r y  o f  p o e m s  )

…

is it for sniffing

a woodland & home

?

whiffs of a wood nymph

a pixie or gnome

?

bells in the springing

the song of a lark

?


toads on pagodas

& lichen on bark

?

lightning in august

or autumn in spore

?

cyclamen's sister

then death on the floor

?

breath of the breezing

a slip of the cow

?

thaws in the squinter

a drip from the brow

?

praps it's for sneezing

the cousin of cough

?

trees can be breezy

but people? - fuck off
