Spinneys poems on Hello Poetry

Lord of Green

My name is Rook, Lord of the Greenwood.
Protector of the Forest, Shepherd of the Trees.
The Maiden of the Glades, my Lady Leaf
speaks the truth with everything she sees.

I mourn the loss of spinneys and copse.
I grieve at the death of my beautiful Trees.
Lady Leaf cools me, soothes my torrid ire
and speaks truth with everything she sees.

The truth she speaks, are the words of Nature.
Making me weep, as she brings sun to the day.
Waking my slumbering world, arousing the Green
so deer can graze, birds can sing and We can play.

The truth she speaks, the words 'I love you'
burn into my breaking heart, and I feel relief.
I see the forest anew, my Trees come to life.
Teaming into me, thank you my sweet Lady Leaf.

teenagers

Remember when we were careless?

When we abandoned sleep to watch the sunrise

Snuck out at 2 to see what was out there

How our eyes glimmered with excitement

How our chest pounded to the song on our lips

Do you remember when were dancers?

When we put down our drinks to let the music be our poison

Cranked up our song to the height of the sun

When we sang it the morning after

With the windows down in Ally’s car

Me in the front, you in the back

Because I did paper and you did rock
You always did rock
And I always won

Was it to see the smile on my face?

Was it so to watch me sing uncontrollably to our favorite song?

Remember when we were stupid?

Remember when we got high in your basement?

Thought it would be a good idea to steal a signpost

Took your dad’s wrench and a step ladder

When it started pouring and we ran home in the rain

When I looked at you and rain stood still

Remember when we were animals?

Remember when we snuck out to the park

How we would drink spinneys champagne in plastic cups

How we didn’t own a bus card but took the bus everyday

How we didn’t own our own pipe but were addicts

How I loved you but never had to say anything
You could just feel it
In the wind
In my laugh
In my lips

Remember when we were young?
