A tribute to my favorite Tree back on the marshes in Savannah, Georgia.
~SKR~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Majestically she grows her limbs
Her age is hard to guess
She fingers sky with every morn
Her moss a lovely dress
Her sighs the creak with every breeze
Her smile a whispered pout
She bends so gently to the east
A home to earthly shouts
Raccoons, opossums, birds and squirrels
A rope laced over digits hold
A swing for boys and girls
She drips down tears each time it rains
She heralds nature best
Majestic oak of ageless time
The Mother's eager quest
To hold open arms so wide
To nurture all she grows
To kiss the sky with open lips
With timeless love she flows
© 1999 Susan K. Rowse

The twenty-first century is bringing back the poemized emotion to a poetized devotion. That is what makes poetry the Major artistic expression of the literary art.
I know that generations of centuries to come will say that Author-Poet Susan Kathryn Rowse stood on this century with the flag of Grace poemizing and poetizing the wonders of Mother Earth.
I can say that now, for I can read your art and acknowledge your message!
Praised be your quills!

A beautiful poem! It speaks of the power of nature, which is so wonderful. A tree is a muse, of course, it has such a rich voice.

Susan,
This is really stunning, it is a beautiful reminder of all that we can learn from the strength of a tree!

I would also like to tell you that you were right in your comment to me...about being an artist of the brush, though I have not done much art work in the past couple years, it was my major in college! Thank you for picking up on that! <smiles>

Hugs,
Maria

P.S. I Love your Bio!
