January Trees

Branches sway in the dark cold breeze Moving like they were in a freeze Colorful they once were Their beauty puts me on my knees Never did they want to displease Dormant they are for sure Russell Sivey Entrant into Black Eyed Susan's "Your favorite tail rhyme, past or present" contest 11/15/2012

Beautiful, Russell. I like "never did they want to displease". So aim to please. The nature of our universe! Enjoyed.
