Oregon’s Evergreens – Arbor Day 2020

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Oregon Evergreens

Stately they stand

Strong branches holding new life

Sheltered from storms

As wind and rain beat

Steadily upon their mossy boughs

Stately they stand

Green giants waving

Strong branches holding new life

All across our land

Some are chosen

As lumber to keep people

Sheltered from storms

Triple Haiku Cascade

“To exist as a nation, to prosper as a state, and to live as a people, we must have trees.” — President Theodore Roosevelt.

“Other holidays repose upon the past; Arbor Day proposes for the future.”

MARCH

March Acrostic poem
Original Poetry and Photograph by Leona J. Atkinson ©2016

So, today was the 1st day of March.  It was cold, rainy, windy and then calm and sunshiny.  “March of many weathers” my mom used to always say, and it was true of today as off and on we had some crazy weather.  I guess I would say March “came in like a lion” so then it should go out “like a lamb” if that old saying is true.:)
