Resplendent Once More

Resplendent Once More The trees have had A collective memory lapse For their bony arms And gnarled, arthritic hands Reach, beseech the sky: Why have you forsaken us? We are cold and naked Where is our leafy finery? Shall it ever be spring again? They forget That they’ll soon be bedecked With cloaks of green And while I know how they feel That is not What shall make me Resplendent once more March 27, 2009

Very concisely phrased, beauty packaged in brevity. An excellent nature poem.

I like the idea of bringing trees to life, which most definitely is the case..."gnarled, arthritic hands' Courage, dear Corinne, spring is just around the corner, even if the corner is several miles down the street. Love, daver
