Let the Trees Speak

by
Josh Mysliwiec

My collection of haiku focuses on Nature. I have always had an undying appreciation for Mother Natures’ beauty. I always loved going on walks as a child with my aunt or grandma, or working in the yard with them. Making the most out of every trip, we would stay out as long as possible. In my later years the slowly lost their ability to take me on trips and as a high schooler I would take it upon myself to make trips to the preserves. I have even keep a few plants and helped plant gardens for family friends.
