Love invisible
rooted deep within the heart
grows strong like the oak
soft scents of flowers
spring blooms in lovers eyes
desires entangle
This week at Poet’s United we are besting Hallmark with personal expressions of love!!! Love is not a card.

Bridging Beginnings – #atozchallenge #photography #napowrimo
In the beginning
there was a strong oak
his arms held many families
birds, squirrels liked him the most
he had a woodsy voice
that caught on the breeze
carried far
over fields and streams
a young sapling
grew alongside
she was strong, willowy
and lithe
her voice was like springtime
all the year long
and the big oak
he loved her
sang her many a song
they grew near together
were entwined arm and arm
he was her strength
she possessed
many charms
an ax came and struck him
hard on that day
his wood began to shudder
her arms began to sway
the ax man shook his head
he decided to cut the two
they had so grown together
nothing else
was he able to do
now he bears up a handrail
to a very important bridge
she holds his hands
as they in the forest did
Also “B” is in thanks to the founder/ idea originator of the A to Z challenge Arlee Bird. Arlee is not only an excellent writer but an encourager of other writers. I know he delights in meeting people during the challenge and during the year. Check him out over at Tossing it Out.

The Oak
The Oak
stands firm
in heavy storms
it never bends
it may seem worn
It
may show signs
of many a trial
the oak’s kind heart
remains unbarred
The Oak
is steady
when children are small
it spreads its branches
there is room for all
The Oak
stands stalwart
as time goes by
arms wide open
when someone cries
The Oak is
faithful to its own
the source of love
long lasting like home
penned in moon dust
