Poems About Woods
Trees and Forests
Author: D. Daniels
In the woods, the trees stand tall
Their branches reach up to the sky
Their leaves rustle in the wind's call
As the sunlight filters through on high
The forest is a place of peace
Where nature's beauty never fades
A tranquil haven, a quiet release
From the world and its many shades
The trees are the giants of the land
Their roots run deep, their strength unyielding
Their trunks stand strong, their leaves expand
Their presence, a gift, forever revealing
So let us take a moment to appreciate
The beauty of the woods, the trees, the forest
For they give us oxygen, they give us shade
They are a treasure, a blessing, a source of joy, a source of rest
Winter
Author: L. Gamble
In the woods of winter, the trees stand bare
Their branches stripped of leaves, their beauty spares
The cold wind blows, the snowflakes dance
As the world is transformed, a winter's chance
The forest floor is blanketed in white
A peaceful scene, a tranquil sight
The trees are still, their silhouettes stark
Against the sky, a winter's mark
But despite the cold, the woods are alive
With the rustle of animals, the jive
Of life continuing, even in the frost
The woods of winter, a beauty embossed
So let us take a moment to appreciate
The quiet beauty of the winter woods
For they are a wonder, a natural state
A gift to be cherished, a sight to be viewed
Summer
Author: L. Gamble
In the woods of summer, the trees are alive
Their branches a canopy, their leaves thrive
The sun beats down, the heat is intense
As the world is transformed, a summer's chance
The forest floor is lush and green
A vibrant scene, a vibrant dream
The trees are full, their leaves ablaze
With the hues of summer, a nature's maze
But despite the heat, the woods are cool
A respite from the sun, a natural pool
Of life continuing, even in the heat
The woods of summer, a beauty complete
So let us take a moment to appreciate
The vibrant beauty of the summer woods
For they are a wonder, a natural state
A gift to be cherished, a sight to be viewed
Bluebell Woods
Author: B. Haynes
There once was a bluebell wood
Where the flowers were bright and good
Their petals so fine and blue
A sight to behold, so true
In the spring, they'd bloom anew
At Night
Author: A. Ryan
As the sun sets and the moon rises
The woods at night come alive
The trees stand tall, their branches high
As the world is transformed, a night's surprise
The forest floor is a carpet of shadows
A mysterious scene, a natural hallow
Into the world of night, of creatures that roam
The woods at night, a natural dome
But despite the darkness, the woods are alive
With the rustle of animals, the jive
Of life continuing, even in the night
The woods at night, a natural sight
So let us take a moment to appreciate
The mysterious beauty of the woods at night
For they are a wonder, a natural state
A gift to be cherished, a sight to be in sight
