Trees: World-Around Colors of Trees:

"So powerful are the climatic pigmentation effects

Of the tropic to arctic

And sea-level to mountaintop

Sun radiation angling

Temperature and humidity differentialings,

That the coloring

Of the world's hardwood trees

Ranges from Northerly mountainside

White and pink woods

Through torrid zone yellows and reds

To tropical teak grays

And dark brown mahoganies

To equatorial jungle ebony blacks.

"These fundamentally dominant inbreeding effects

Are not contradicted

By exceptional cross-breeding cases

Amongst humans and trees

Produced by the world-around seed blowing

And the vast waterborne shuttling of sailors."
