A Naughty Wind

the tree shuddered 
like it had been mugged
a naughty wind 
whispered in its ear...
from its branches
hung icicles
of defeat

Aren't trees great for poetry, Gershon? They experience the seasonal shifts just like we do. Cheers, my poetic friend ~ John

For sure, trees are a great subject. Joyce Kilmer thought so; she did alright! Smiles, Gershon

Once a Spring tree -- turned white before its time. Oh, well: 6 - 12 inches of snow on its way here. Merry Xmas! :)

I love the wind too, as long as nobody near me breaks it. ~ P.U.
