Tall and Strong: Poems of the Norfolk Pine

Norfolk pine, tall and grand,
Evergreen in nature's hand.
In every branch, in every leaf,
Nature's strength, beyond belief.
Through your height, skies you touch,
Nature's majesty, gentle and such.
Green and proud in sunlight's beam,
Norfolk pine, nature's dream.
In every needle, in every cone,
Nature's beauty, softly shown.

Norfolk pine in forest's deep,
Nature's guardian, life's keep.
In every stand, in every grove,
Nature's love, forest's trove.
Through your boughs, breezes play,
Nature's song, night and day.
Tall and slender in twilight's hue,
Norfolk pine, beauty's view.
In every root, in every seed,
Nature's promise, nature's creed.

Norfolk pine in endless time,
Evergreen in nature's rhyme.
In every season, in every year,
Nature's touch, always near.
Through your growth, beauty's grace,
Nature's charm, life's embrace.
Green and lush in morning's light,
Norfolk pine, nature's might.
In every forest, in every glade,
Nature's wonder, never fade.

A Norfolk pine so tall and neat,
Loved to trick with its needles fleet.
It'd drop them on passersby,
"Got you!" it'd shout from up high.
The squirrels would laugh, the birds would sing,
At the pine's playful fling.
"Next time, watch out," it'd say with glee,
In its piney, prankster spree.

There once was a Norfolk pine,
Who loved to host a party fine.
It'd sway its branches, invite the stars,
"Come dance with us, from near and far!"
The forest would glow with light so bright,
In the pine's festive night.
With each dance, joy would spread,
In the pine's leafy spread.

Along the coast where waves collide,
Norfolk pine whispers, sea's guide.
Branches swaying in ocean's breeze,
Norfolk's whispers, in coastal ease.
Silhouettes against the setting sun,
Norfolk pine poems, in day's undone.
Amidst the salt and seabird's cry,
Norfolk whispers, in shore's reply.
Each needle whispers tales untold,
Norfolk pine poems, in maritime fold.
In coastal embrace, their whispers roam,
Norfolk pine's sentinel, in ocean's home.
