Notes About The Poem
Len Gasun's What's your memory of nature Contest

Memory -- Tree


Along life's cycles grew my rundown tree

 It's roots charting young love that drained away;

Where branches limp no longer fancy-free 

To wane against past ardent summer day.

Nostalgia is often a seductive liar, the past is rarely what it seems. Congratulations on your most resonant POTD, Nette!
