The Ecstasy of Trees

Have you ever seen the way The tender leaves all tremble In the gentlest of breezes And then gather, intensify that windy gesture Until finally the tree itself bows down? Can you hear her moan and whimper, Feel her ecstasy, As she bends and comes alive, Her strength challenged, tested, Springing back at last for more?

I'd go there with you, but na... I'd rather not talk about all the cliche ridden around this tiny write. This turned out to be one of the best examples. Thank you for stopping by my poem. Linda ((<---but you know that already right))

Hello Turrner Bodeen, I did not get the comment on my poem... Did I really make your eyes bleed. Okay, I'm being funny, cause you are new, and you read one of my poems before posting one. Oddly, I enjoyed the comment, but I wasn't too sure about the ending, was it an insult... Linda
