Trees - or Something.

Doggerel Dave


Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂


Social isolation….

 

So I talk to the trees.

They don’t listen to me;

They much prefer the bees.

Still I chat up that tree.

 

They talk to each other -

(This research on the tree)

So next time I’d rather

Be a tree……or a bee….

    Love the Ents in Lord of the Rings. Cheers

    • Doggerel Dave

      Thanks for that, John. Had to google, as I never quite got round to all of L of the R....

      Talking to trees makes for a wooden conversation! You should branch out and try flowers Dave.
      BTW Bill Evans is awesome

      • Goldfinch60

        SC yes Bill, Evans i awesome but Chet Baker is more so, I have practically all his albums.

          Flowers woz the sixties, Sax – but you wouldn’t know would you? Too young, you pesky youth… Whereas me ‘n my wooden leg…. mind you I have to apologise for the use of such material – perhaps that’s why they aren’t speaking to me…

          Talking with Nature is always wonderful.

          Thanks for putting up Chet Baker and Bill Evans.

            My pleasure, Andy - small return for all the music you have introduced me to.

            A fine write Dave.
            I felt sorry for a tree on a cold night, so brought it indoors. Not a bonzai mini-tree, but an oak. Not much room in the house now! lol.

              Such compassion, Orchi - in life, sometimes sacrifice just has to be made..... go to the top of the ......tree.

              • orchidee

                Men in white coats called for me, when I felt sorry for a lamp post out at night, and brought it indoors to keep it warm! heehee.

                wonderfully whimsical sir
                if push came to a shove I think I would rather be a tree 🙂

                  Somewhere away from axes and chainsaws, Nev. Going to write a dozen stanzas on that theme, but then thought....Nah - spoil the tone.....

                  Yes trees do talk or at least communicate with each other so I hear and believe. But I think that in their way they are aware of us as well and maybe must maybe it is us that are not aware of them. Great words
