Trees

Spiky Guard

Your thorns, a fierce defense,
Black locust's charm, nature's sense.
In every branch, in every leaf,
You bring caution, end all grief.
Through your presence, strength is found,
In your growth, peace is crowned.

02

Trees

Hardy Tree

Your bark, a rugged shield,
Black locust's grace, nature's field.
In every root, in every spread,
You bring shelter, nature's bed.
Through your strength, life does grow,
In your shade, calm does flow.

Trees

Guardian’s Touch

Your touch, a spiky hold,
Black locust's grip, pure and bold.
In every wood, in every grove,
You bring balance, nature's cove.
Through your bark, peace is known,
In your leaves, life's shown.

Trees

Locust's Jest:

Black locust trees, with flowers bright,
In the forest, pure delight.
From blooms so white to leaves so green,
Locust's charm, a lovely scene.
In every branch, a tale is spun,
Locust, under the sun.
With every breeze, a song we hear,
Locust, always near.
In every grove, a heart does cheer,
Locust, so dear.
With every bloom, a joy we see,
Locust, wild and free.

Trees

Tree's Jest:

Black locust tall in forest's grace,
In their shade, a loving place.
From blooms so sweet to wood so strong,
Locust, all along.
With every leaf, a tale we find,
Locust, gentle and kind.
In every tree, a joy we see,
Locust, wild and free.

Trees

Locust’s Song:

In the grove where locusts grow,
Black locust trees in evening's glow.
Fragrant blooms of white and gold,
Black locust's tale, quietly told.
Wood so strong, a builder's friend,
Black locust's gifts never end.
From fence posts strong to flowers bright,
Black locust stands in nature's light.
Roots that delve and branches high,
Black locust reaches to the sky.
In its shadow, peace is found,
Black locust, nature's sound.
A tree of strength, enduring, tall,
Black locust, life's steady call.
In its presence, a world complete,
Black locust, nature's feat.
