Winter Cold

Winter in the forest.

 

WINTER COLD

 

 

 

I feel so cold.

Ice is forming on my arms.

What is happening to me?

Why are my leaves drying up?

Ouch.

A cold wind just hit me in the face.

I wish I could hide.

But I’m stuck in place.

Waiting.

And waiting.

I think I fell asleep.

For the sun is out.

My ice is melting.

The breeze is now warmer.

It’s brushing the snow

off my cold arms.

My arms feel less heavy.

Soon it will be spring.

Time for celebration.

I can’t wait to see my

green leaves again.

Birds will return to

sit on my arms.

They will build their nests.

Life will be good again.

Only a few short months left.

I will take another snooze.

See you in the spring.

An inventive, indeed poetic take on the inner life of trees. John

I love the way you personify the tree and it's emotions. We are like trees in so many ways. Bloom away dear Suz, come spring the shoots will bring back life, it is all part of the Master's plan. x

There something special about sap rising from n the spring. Each season in the forest has its own beautiful spirit.

When your juices will flow once again. Wonderfully presented from the viewpoint of a tree coldly trying to hibernate during the winter.

I couldn't help notice that the trees in the photo were rigidly planted in a row as part of some agricultural approach to trees.

In-tree-ging write, and I'm a sap for nature poems.

Trees can be a wonderful metaphor. Personally I have learned much from them. They are grounded always, through every season, and they always reach heavenward. We learn character from trees, values from roots, and change from leaves. Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays. r

Thank you. I should have read more poetry in school. I know, you're going to say that it's never too late to start. And I will.

Winter from a tree's point of view is the perfect naturalists poem, I think Thoreau would have liked this a great deal...-e-
