Natural Stump

Lifted from the soft ground is an old stump
And moss covers the surface
It holds great aroma

Flowers enhance view
They bring a wonderful smell
A grandiose sound
Exists near the stream nearby
Stump transfixes all humans

Dirt was flown about
After tree fell years ago
Nature took over

An old stump can be beautiful and is not always lifeless. Congratulations on your win. Love, Joyce

Yes, it is so interesting how nature takes over and makes something beautiful out of something like a stump. good observation, Russell.

WOW... trees and their dominance in nature-- often reduced BY nature to a stump. Clever and great description-- could smell the moss.

- Beautiful, we should spend a little more time to smell, see, feel all that nature gives us of experiences. - Good luck in the contest, Russell! - Have a lovely weekend. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
