The whole point of this blog is to collaborate with literary artists as well as to share the project with whoever might be interested. (I've learned there are lots of tree people out there.) To contribute a tree story, you can simply add a comment, found below each original tree story image. You can also email me at judith@judithmonroe.com with a tree story either for an image you've found or to inspire an image, and I'll post it to the blog.
Images waiting for stories can be found by selecting the "tell story" label, so take some time to cruise the archives and get lost in the forest.

The Backyard Elm Remembers
Does the backyard elm
R–E–M–E–M–B–E-R?
When she was “base”
For hide ‘n seek?
When she held the piƱata
And the children did shriek?
Does she know her strong roots
Broke up the sidewalk?
Does she remember the names
Carved in with a rock?
Does she miss her limb
That fell in the wind?
Does she know it landed
On my bike that did bend?
Does she know the cool pleasure
Given by her shade?
Does she recall the children
In the yard where we played?
Does the backyard elm
R–E–M–E–M–B–E-R?
