I’m not jealous of the woods
That stand behind your neighborhood
In the suburb of your city.
I’m the forest,
I have NO fear of T-storms,
I am NO man of moods.
I tolerate everything
And adore every being,
Both bad and good.
My dream is always humanity.
If I cannot be at my best,
I won’t be a forest anymore,
Which people adore.
I will be the woods,
And I may be cut down and used to
Make tools.

The forest may be gutsy, but if I were a tree scheduled to be “harvested” I’d be shivering in my roots.

welcome here any time!
I never really thought of any distinction between “woods” and “forest” before. Your poetry is kind and gentle. I am note sure, by the definition your proffer and I have see other places, that what I am labeling of mine as ‘haiku’ actually is. I am trying to learn to trust what I feel, what trips of my tongue and my mind’s tongue.
Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback…
I simply try to tell the difference between a pond and a sea…
does it make more sense to you?
๐
This pretty much captures my view of the difference between “woods” and “forest”.
many thanks, Dennis!
