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 Contest: Three Verses Sponsor: Constance La France 6/6/2013

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.
