Trees Sobbing

trees sobbing, tortured by rain - insane. shedding more skin. more flooding at feet. their instinct tells them find the sun or run. the leaking moraine sky tumultuous, sly! no hint of yellow dye nor floral tablecloth. 2/6/2020 Edward Ibeh’s Yalto Form Line 1 to 15: 3,4,2,4,5,3,2,3,2,3,3,5,6,1,5 syllables

When I watch the news and see all the downed trees I can't help grieve for them as well as for the people and the animals who are suffering from the storms. Beautiful in form and content Kim. xxoo

We have had birds gathering around our deck instead of out in the trees. :) Thank you, Connie!
