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."
