Tree Tops-Haiku

Dan Johnson

Treetops, as seen from my sixth floor balcony.

A view of aging
as seen from top to bottom
natures balance act

Once young filled with zeal
middle time brought cover with care
end times brought last verse

The first to be touched
By suns golden rays leafless
Brown bent old treetops

It is a strong similie for the aging process,and trees, which are so majestic really show their age with a distinct beauty some living many hundreds of years! nicely done, Dan! I love old gnarled
trees;-)...ET

Powerfully penned poignancy, Dan, I feel sorry for the trees! You capture their life cycle in few words of perfection - well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Such a melancholy piece.I have a tree dying from the septic field , of all things and I hate to watch it wither away. Your poem was very touching.

wonderfully expressed and so ironic when you think about it -- that the sun's first rays, should grace that which has approached its end state - peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael
