Old Dormant Tree

Comments and suggestions welcome.

Green moss, cracked bark, spindly branches rise

Reaching for winters cold sun dreaming of summers prize

Thank you!

Old trees are a wonder in themselves. Even after all those years of endurance, standing tall, imposingly. I wonder what it'd be like if they could speak. Would sure want to hear the story of their life. Wonderful work!

[Karen Redburn]

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by to comment!

My pleasure

[Samuel Dickens]

An effective few words, I think. Me and that tree have a lot in common.

[Karen Redburn]

Thanks Sam. Glad there was something personal in this poem you connected with.

[Wesley Dingler]

My best suggestion would be that it's great this way. Let the bareness of the poem be reflective of the bareness of the tree.

Thanks for commenting!

Wonderful- the bareness of branches waiting for new hope enduring through the storms to be yet adorned with the beauty of new life...the transition between seasons is a wonderful sight to see..lovely🌹

Thank you for commenting. I sure was thinking about a season change and the sunshine when I wrote this one. Cheers!

I am in love with nature poems, love this as I can feel the desire to touch the sunlight

[Karen Redburn]

You definitely caught this one. Yes it is so cold and rainy here at the moment, and we had a cold winter. REALLY looking forward to that sunshine! Thank you for commenting.
