Poem:  Dying Blue Spruce Tree
Edited by:  Sparkle Jordan 
written:  May/2017


Now that April has faded behind
the golden Sun of spring  -  

It leaves a sickle that time writhe 
unforgiving -

Thou perpetrators cast shadows 
leaving it's dark remnants,

to thou 
limbs vernal youth; 

clinging to branches parched, gone
brittle -

Summer will surely forsake thee -  
to thy waterless rest!

Once thy mirrored a rose - alluring .....
captivating!

stands deceased -

Thy blue silver tone ascended to the
moon in the pale eyesight of the sky. 

The living beauty of thy appeal  - 
now life deny.
