I Spoke To Trees: 5~Hemlock

 

Hemlock 

My Dears

I will not 

Let you down

For you have 

Served

M’Lady

From Slipper

To Crown 

My mittens 

And 

Clover 

Had hope

That biology 

And Shroom

Can soon 

Win 

You 

Over

I Spoke To Trees: 4~ Take Them Out

 

Take 

Them 

Out

The fronds 

From the top

Sway

With artillery 

Cones

Branches 

To Squirrels Delight 

The breeze 

Will 

Thank You

 

For their

Further flight

Take 

Them

Take them

Take them 

All

I Spoke To Trees: 3~Luna

 

Luna 

Moth 

Haberdasher 

Rosey

Beakers full

As the feeders empty 

Cherry blooms 

As 

My Mycelium 

Networks

And

A trail 

Exists

Where the grass 

Used to 

Refuse to grow

I Spoke To Trees: 2 ~ Oaken Babe

 

Oaken Babe

I gave you pages

Haunt me 

No more

Bathe 

All you wish 

Here

Amongst the forest floor

Let the twigs

Rake your hair

As the moss 

Entangles 

Inhale the perfume

Turning demons 

To angels 

Petrichor 

Fairy’s door

And 

Pine needles too

No one escapes 

What the woods 

Can do 

For you 

Home: Spring Updates

Is that you Spring?

 

The crocuses are blooming 

&

I have spied a ton of the daffodils 

Sending up their foliage 

And lilies… 

Omg it’s actually happening!

Starting to build the patio 

At the top of the driveway…

The paved surface 

Gives us the carefree moments

Of dry & tick free 

Outdoor living 

So creating a nice surround 

For the seating 

Makes it cozy…

There were rumblings 

Tho…

About maybe 

Maybe 

Prioritizing 

A shed

Like a real shed 

Being built…

Some of my patio ideas 

Might have to wait… 

Or happen in the backyard…

The kitchen paint

For walls 

And grout

Has been purchased 

But…

I’ve been trying to get the last bits

And lightning done

In my studio…

Here’s me testing the tripod fix…

It’s plasticy bits have been 

Well…

It’s seen better days…

So far so good…

I fully came to realize how many bits 

I had left 

To organize 

I’m just making it worse!

How is this possible?!?

Well

I have to empty the bins

In order to sort

The bits

Into the correct categories 

And/or 

Storage areas…

Like somewhere else on the planet!

Please make it stop! 

LoL

Oy!

Can I tell you 

Finding several handfuls of 

Gummy 

Old

Rubber bands 

Embedded in 

Handfuls of 

Tacks

Thumb tacks

Upholstery tacks

Nails

And other miscellaneous 

Sharp

Things

At the bottom of a bin

And having to sort

Each fiddley 

Lil bit

Into the appropriate 

Cup

Or bottle 

Or jar

For easy access…

Hopefully 

I won’t find any other pockets 

Of that madness 

For the rest of this 

Process…

I did find this wee dvd player 

And

It had twilight’s new moon in it

LoL

When was the last time I used this…???

And just for the thrill of it!

I took a break 

And went outside 

Thinking 

It’s time to plonk a table down 

With an umbrella 

But

This is what happens when you don’t have a shed

And you store your stuff outside…

Chewed

To bits

I didn’t realize 

That you were able to customize 

These lil sheds…!

I could have a whole wall 

Of peg storage 

For all of my tools?!?

Like

Without me having to build it myself?

The lil crissy crossy 

On the door

I can request that custom too???

What’s this 

My birthday???

Sure sure

Sign me up

Gimme gimme

Yeah!

That would be a win

For sure…

Next we try to find out 

If it’s ok that we put it where the old shed is 

Or was…

Many back and forths to come

I’m sure 

    on that…

Kk that’s it

All you get for now

On your way

Gotta go

All these chores 

Aren’t going to do themselves…

Let’s go

What are you up to

More poetry to come…

Still writing it 

And finding it

In all of these bins

From storage 

I have found 

At least 5 journals

That had scribblings 

And verses…

Maybe I’ll do one a day

After I’ve had my coffee 

Of course…
