Trees

Evergreen Shade

Yew's grace in morning's light,
Evergreen shade, pure delight.
In every leaf, in every bough,
Nature's touch, softly now.
Through your growth, beauty's spread,
Yew's whispers, gently led.
Soft and bright in dawn's beam,
Yew's charm, softly seen.
In every grove, in every place,
Nature's wonder, nature's grace.

Trees

Forest’s Veil

Yew's touch in forest's embrace,
Nature's veil, pure and grace.
In every leaf, in every fold,
Life's fine touch, softly bold.
Through your growth, beauty's shown,
Yew's love, softly grown.
Light and free in morning's glow,
Yew's charm, gently show.
In every grove, in every space,
Nature's wonder, nature's grace.

Trees

Shadow’s Keep

Yew's light in morning's light,
Shadow's keep, pure delight.
In every leaf, in every fold,
Nature's beauty, softly told.
Through your growth, beauty's spread,
Yew's whispers, gently led.
Soft and lush in morning's glow,
Yew's charm, softly show.
In every grove, in every place,
Nature's wonder, nature's grace.

Yew's Yarns

A yew tree in the forest old,
Had stories, often told.
"Once I saw a bear so tall,
It reached the sky, oh what a sprawl!"
The animals laughed, joined the cheer,
At the yew's tale so dear.
With each yarn, joy would grow,
In the forest's story glow.

Yew's Yule

A yew tree loved to sing,
In the forest, it'd make music ring.
"La la la!" it'd hum with cheer,
As the critters drew near.
They'd join in the yew's tune,
Under the soft, glowing moon.
With each note, laughter would grow,
In the yew's musical show.

Trees

Ancient Guardian

Amidst the forest where yews stand tall,
Yew whispers, in woodland's call.
Bark that ages in earth's embrace,
Yew's whispers, in nature's grace.
Needles green in ever shade,
Yew poems, in forest's braid.
Amidst the deer and fox's dash,
Yew whispers, in woodland's mash.
Each branch that bends, a woodland's tale,
Yew poems, in forest's prevail.
In the woods' embrace, their whispers blend,
Yew's strength, in forest's extend.
Mists that linger in twilight's sigh,
Yew's whispers, in forest's sky.
Starlit canopy in silent awe,
Yew poems, in forest's draw.
