Notes About The Poem

NAKED TREES AND WINTER COLD

 

What freaks of nature

They may seem to be:

Tall trees—barked skeletons—

Of well seasoned wood:-

Well seasoned wood,

Piercing the sky,

Casting weird shadows

Across the chilled terrain:-

Their statuesque stillness,

Poised assurance

Of the coming 

Spring resurrection:-

If only we too could stand

In such blessed assurance:-

 

NAKED TREES AND WINTER SNOW

NAKED TREES AND WINTER COLD

What freaks of nature
They may seem to be:
Tall trees—barked skeletons—
Of well seasoned wood:-
Well seasoned wood,
Piercing the sky,
Casting weird shadows
Across the chilled terrain:-
Their statuesque stillness,
Poised assurance
Of the coming 
Spring resurrection:-
If only we too could stand
In such blessed assurance:-
