The Jedi Tree: The Bark Writes Back
When nature learns to speak
Be careful Man--when Nature learns to speak, she bites.

Words on bark, etched deep.
The scratches appear, red lines.
Your words, by its hand.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

The economy of language here is stunning. Each line carries weight and tension, echoing ancient reverence for nature while hinting at modern reckoning. A strikingly powerful haiku.
Very haunting. Nicely written.
Chilling and powerful, love how you turned nature into something both mystical and menacing.
I'd be so creeped out if I saw that hahaha. Loved this!
