First Place

Free Tree Winter photo and picture

the trees outside my window stand like fragile bones reaching moaning& groaning all their leaves blown away they stand naked of beauty withered& brittle their broken branches cannot be hidden as snowflakes drift covering the ground I hear them whispering& whispering we are not dead &soon we will be wearing beautiful snow white cloaks we are but sleeping

This is indeed so beautiful. I love the whispering of the trees at the end. Yes, when they wake up from their sleep, they will be full of beauty and life. Congratulations on your Trophy win, dear Constance.

oh, this poem spoke to me. I enjoy looking at the bare trees in the winter and hear some similar thoughts coming from the trees outside my office window. Although they look dead and 'unbeautiful,' they're just sleeping--they reassure me. Have to fave this one. Have a great weekend, Sara

I shall have to fave this as it gave me a shiver and some "goose bumps" on reading, this should win the Goldilocks award.."not too hard, not too soft...just right."

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if trees could talk? You’ve captured my imagination in your lines. Constance. I wonder why the & sign didn’t space after some words.
