The Green Douglas Fir Tree
The green Douglas fir tree so lush and fine,
leaving behind, the fresh minty aroma, and taste of pine
The Fir Tree swings, in the gentle December breeze
blowing the white fluffy snow gently against the tree.
The warm evening sun, casting a shadow, on the tree
giving it a gentle warm comfort of ease.
The soft gentle breeze continues to blow against the tree
and the aroma of the pine, flows with ease.
The soft gentle breeze continues whirl and wheeze
until it scatters it needles, in the December Eve spreading its seeds among the other patch of trees.
The green Douglas Fir Tree so lush and fine
has grown so beautiful through out its life time.
In this December Eve, the tree is perfectly fine
then you see a machine, not looking so kind.
The rumbling machine came streaking on by,
and the the tree began to wilt and started to die.
The Green Douglas Fir Tree, so lush and so fine,
always stayed beautiful though out its time
until that day he was cut for a dime.

I like this, vivid, two thumbs up! ;) No, I'm serious the imagery and the eco-friendly message is beautiful. This is a statement piece, you fellow hippie you!

My favorite line though is the longest one. Don't change a thing. I respect you as a poet and a fellow user of punctuation. :). This was brilliant. :D.

Missy, thank you for that outstanding comment. I am shocked you have absolutely made my day. Early this morning I had woke up and checked DU and had a comment from someone that I deleted that said, "Your poem is stupid,nobody cares about trees." SO when the allotted time is up I am gonna post a poem for that person that hated this one. So you have absolutely made my day. Although I am not a hippie I still find the nature peaceful and serene. :) THank you missy

Your very welcome and I'm happy to had made your day. Your poem is beautiful and it represents something within ourselves as well, the whole reminder of mortality. If that person couldn't see the aestheticism of a poem about trees, then they don't understand what true poetry is. I mean how can you forget Plath and her metaphor of her Fig tree, and how many poems have been written about the Weeping Willow. Haha, for my theatre class I wrote a Monologue called "Monologue of a Used-to-be Tree". There is a trinity between man, poetry and trees and, by golly, take pride in that. :). This was wonderful once again. I'm sorry I'm rambling. :).
Yup its official your awesome!Also Missy, you are not rambling in my opinion.Your comment is a very insightful text proving my point.The poem i wrote targets this individual because I am human;therefore, As a male human I can be vile,heartless as well as a hypocrite
