Broken and Bowed

timber ~ echoes loud
             silent treetop in the clouds
               crashes from its shroud

Thanks Anne-Lise, I only noticed Constance’s contest after writing this, This one’s syllable count is 5/7/5 so wouldn’t qualify, better get my thinking cap on again, cheers David
