Pinecone Crafts and Poetry
This hub has many of my original poems about pine cones. There is also lots of pine cone craft information as well as interesting facts about pinecone.
And if you want to give someone a pine cone themed gift this Holiday season, or you want a pine cone decor accent for your home, but you are not inclined to craft it yourself, I have a link for great pine cone gift ideas that are all ready to use and enjoy!

Ode on a Pine Cone
This splendid work of Nature before me sits
Its spiral of sienna chips balancing the whole
It drops to earth and wanders not from where it hits
'Tis well equipped; short spurs and tar arrest the roll
Another wondrous exhibit of the Golden Ratio
Evolved early-on in the primordial ancient woods
Looking up at me the same as to Horatio
This perfect package common in the neighborhoods
As well a food source for squirrels, voles and birds
Who chip the stiff petals to get what is hidden
A mathematical beauty deserving of these words
Crowning fruit of Nature's bounty not forbidden
Did You Know?
At least one type of pine cone (Florida Slash Pine) closes up when it's wet and opens again when it dries out. Wow!
On Pine Cone Jewelry - a poem
Maybe dangling from the ears
On winter holiday occasions
Or at the neck any time of year
Their allure needs no persuasion
The Cone of an Evergreen
The cone of an evergreen has many forms
Yet each must follow the Golden Rule
It will seed new life through sun and storms
And feed birds and chipmunks as Nature's tool
Creating Pine Cone Art
Most Folks - a very short pine cone couplet
Most folks don't live in a copse of pine
Yet may want a representation when they dine

A Pine Cone is a Perfect Form
A pine cone is a perfect form
Should it fall off in a storm
It will have chances to create
New pines from Nature's slate
Pines Have Been Around
Pines have been around for ever
While peoples' time is fairly new
In our short history, however
Artistic renderings do accrue
Biggest Pine Cone?
