Winter's end

Rate: 8 Flag

 

DSC00033 

Jagged rounds, twig on twig, way up high

Against airy canvas of cerulean sky

P3190032smaller 

Atop trunk’s widespread span, within limb’s reach

Over weather-curled birch covering, wet with bleach

 

DSC00031 

Color gone by sun’s beatings, still leaving its mark

Next to other trees, shredded and peeling bark

Falling to ground on fulvous debris’ bed

IMG_0375 

A flattened mélange of sharp points and textures dead

And there, shadowed, nearly hidden, a sprout, neon green

Seemingly announcing the beginnings of spring’s scene

A change welcomed, as is sun, filtering in this way

Putting an end to the sameness of winter’s display.

Definitely this is insightful in so many ways and maybe a little symbolic.

I'm sitting in my sun-room, and can see a huge birch tree in the next lot. It will never look the same after reading your poem.
Thanks

Thoth..Happy spring to you, however we got 3 inch of snow overnight. Was going to the gym, but I do not want to go out in it. I will photograph some snow designs though, they have their value too! :)

My heart..I guess it does sort of tell of life in general, the marks and peeling life does to us, as we make our way to our core being. Cool.

Out on a limb.. Frost said, " Remembrance and recognition indicate the poem's effect on both poet and reader." I love your comment and any time we can look at something from a different angle, we are blessed. Your comment means alot to me. TY

Shades of Feeling

birches beckon,
"Return, come back!"
what did I miss?
your core complete
my meaning missing?

birches beckon,
"Return, come back!"
what did I miss?
your tapestry of blue
Pull the cerulean
down
over
me
