Autumn Oak Tree

The cold north winds that stripped you bare,
Shall bring a white cloak for you to wear.

This is how my Autumn trees look already.

Brenda, congratulations on your win! I love the way you departed from the oak in autumn to show it bare in winter with its white cloak. Wow...your winter sure came early! Hugs, Sandra

Dazzling, inspiring, beautiful oak trees, Brenda. And so is your poem. A 7 and a sav. I praise God for giving you your talent of poetry and your using it so expressively. While other God given talents are wasted!
