snapping trees
trees snap when the wind hits
ninety-four miles per hour
strangely, the type of tree, height
thin or thick factors cancel
each other out leaving the speed
of the wind as the determining factor
nearly all split under
the same degree of stress
cedar lace
cedar lace-filtered sunbeam
delicate pattern of filigreed shadow
on my palm as i capture
master artist’s light creation
before it reaches the forest floor
Van Duzer corridor
morning after
An original poem by MaryJane Nordgren
morning after
pines still after a night of rain
drops coalescing at needle tips
and dropping one by scattered one
as the wind, tired, subsides
anticipating autumn
tree whispers intrigue me
anticipating autumn
haiku
pines bend to the wind
gossip mountain laurel will
soon bare soul—and branch
