This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree, and of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Every Thing On It, Don't Bump the Glump!, and Runny Babbit.

Download or read book The Trees Witness Everything written by Victoria Chang and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lover of strict form, best-selling poet Victoria Chang turns to compact Japanese waka, powerfully innovating on tradition while continuing her pursuit of one of life’s hardest questions: how to let go. In The Trees Witness Everything, Victoria Chang reinvigorates language by way of concentration, using constraint to illuminate and free the wild interior. Largely composed in various Japanese syllabic forms called “wakas,” each poem is shaped by pattern and count. This highly original work innovates inside the lineage of great poets including W.S. Merwin, whose poem titles are repurposed as frames and mirrors for the text, stitching past and present in complex dialogue. Chang depicts the smooth, melancholic isolation of the mind while reaching outward to name—with reverence, economy, and whimsy—the ache of wanting, the hawk and its shadow, our human urge to hide the minute beneath the light.

Book excerpt: 03.18.2021 01:39:00Am (By My AWL) FP Description of Poet Tree(R) Volume Forr Beneath the Roots Age at the Ash written under the Poet Tree(R) pen name This is book five of the Poet Tree series written under the Poet Tree pen name. Volume Forr Beneath the Roots Age at the Ash delves deeper into the mind of Forrest as music videos touch the soul, inspiring creativity to translate the past, and never letting the moment pass, to record the events of a miraculous feeling, crying out to the heavens, to quench at last, the anger inside which spilled out so fast. The journey to find meaning leads one holy being to accept the truth with watch less arms underneath their roof, falling backwards this time so then the author wrote rhymes. Age at the Ash, a terrible clash, between a God, and then flash. It isn't a miracle that you could believe, it's ancient science and all you could see; the words of my Christian faith now let's believe, Ten percent hell yes, no way, no how, not ready, not now; I think that the beasts of the world somehow, to prevent the cruelty to animals is how; What moves Him and what moves me, but if the pain too much we see; then words that carried Him for thee; then let Him be All and All will be Me; show Him the light and go forth and yonder and may the Spirit of the Lord move stronger through me a minute every day much longer.

This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For poet Tiana Clark, trees will never be just trees. They will also and always be a row of gallows from which Black bodies once swung. This is an image that she cannot escape, but one that she has learned to lean into as she delves into personal and public histories, explicating memories and muses around race, elegy, family, and faith by making and breaking forms as well as probing mythology, literary history, her own ancestry, and, yes, even Rihanna. I Can’t Talk About the Trees without the Blood, because Tiana cannot engage with the physical and psychic landscape of the South without seeing the braided trauma of the broken past—she will always see blood on the leaves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I see and hear the ubiquitous hype and media coverage for celebrities receiving acclaim after facing their ordeals with breast cancer, I hear words like "bravery," "stamina," "devastating disease," how well they are handling the diagnosis, and how "heroically" they are getting on with their lives." Most of these same celebrities are alive and well after their diagnosis because of the work done by women like my late wife, Lois A. Anderson. Yet most people have never heard of her. If you want to read a book about real bravery, real stamina, and the power to make real changes that matter to the breast cancer story, you need to take the time to read this book. Lois came from a poor family, coming from conditions most of us would never ascend from, and made her mark upon the world. "I do not want to be forgotten," she told me after being diagnosed with stage III breast cancer at the age of thirty-nine. She lived eighteen years after that diagnosis and, in many ways, changed the world with her knowledge, support, and political advocacy. Many throw money at research in an effort to move breast cancer out of the ranks of an incurable cancer into one where most will survive it. Lois didn't have money. She didn't have the media to tell of her many battles. What she did have was a spirit of hope, which she used to battle breast cancer on all fronts. This is the story of a remarkable woman who, in spite of the odds, not only survived but also turned an ordeal that would have devastated most of us into a shining example of what one person can do even when they are facing death. "Sometimes you get the chance to change things," she often told me. In her short lifetime, even with cancer raging through her body, she took the chance and did that very thing. She not only fought her own personal battle with breast cancer but also fought the war against it. Lois pursued such an astonishing life from the moment she came into the world, overcoming many obstacles in her quest to rise above the ordinary, many conquered before breast cancer entered her life. I felt her story had to be told. She lived her short life, coming from very humble beginnings, rising from all of it, making changes she hoped would better everyone, when it ended on January 17, 2011. At the time of her death, she was considered a great breast cancer advocate known at the national level. She was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer at the age of thirty-nine, six days before her fortieth birthday, in 1992. Signs that could have cautioned her remained muted by an unsuspicious bruise she sustained from an injury several months before her fortieth birthday. In time, she was treated for the initial breast cancer and remained cancer-free for almost ten years, until cancer returned in 2001. Then when the odds seemed stacked against her, she fought the disease as a stage IV breast cancer survivor (metastatic breast cancer) from the time of that dire discovery until she died in January 2011. She lived eighteen years from the time she was diagnosed, against all prognostications allowing her only five years of survival. Over the last six months of her life, I began writing a story where I escaped the realities of losing my wife to something I had no control over. In a way, it transitioned into a metaphoric fable, a parallel story of her life. Between the lines, I allowed myself the chance to create an alternate world where the real trials Lois and I experienced on our "last road" together eventually made some sense to me in our unpredictable world. After she died, I began the long process of chronicling her amazing biography and believed I could finish the fictional one. Both stories represent a process of coming to terms with her death and a promise I made to "not let her be forgotten." I began writing her real life story in late February 2011. After I started, I found stories and journals Lois had written about herself tucked away in boxes and old folders throughout the house. Some o

I started writing while in public school and have continued in the pursuit of the perfect poem. My working years were spent searching for an occupation I could enjoy and get paid for. Employed by the Canadian National Railroad in Fort Erie, Region Niagara I found my calling, locomotive engineer. In order to attain that lofty position I worked from the section gang up to fireman position and finally graduated to engineer. I ran steam locomotive engines in the days when railroading had lots of romance attached to it. I wrote poems about working conditions, fellow workers, locomotives, and any subject that caught my fancy. My years spent in cadet work and community service did not escape my pen. My life has been blessed with two fine children and two lovely wives. Death unfortunately took both my wives. Our end, my friend!
Download or read book Poet Tree Vol I Prose Lyrics Thoughts written by Steve Petersen and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-20 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writings you find in this book were created and collected as part of the "POET TREE" concept originally mastered in Palm Springs, at the Palapas Artist Center starting in April 1994. The idea of an Artist Garden was to have a spiritual and creative venue where artistic energies could be expressed and shared with the public at local, national, and global events. Poetry, music, writing, dance, theater and creative art needed a public stage. A more perfect place at the foot of the San Jacinto Mountains, upon sacred ground, could not be found. The setting evolved into a place where visitors felt moved to leave notes attached to the tree branches, leaves, and yellow flowers growing on the restored Mexican Palo Verde tree. The collection of poems, notes, songs and tales from the hearts of those visiting the "Poet Tree" became so numerous I asked one of the artists to paint a mailbox and I placed it under the tree. Poets and would-be poets from all walks of life, of all ages, creeds, colors, and faiths started leaving notes and poems in the "Poet Tree Mailbox." I share these prose, thoughts and lyrics with you now. Please scroll to top and purchase a copy of this book now.
