Russell Sivey Poet Verse

Natural Stump

Lifted from the soft ground is an old stump
And moss covers the surface
It holds great aroma

Flowers enhance view
They bring a wonderful smell
A grandiose sound
Exists near the stream nearby
Stump transfixes all humans

Dirt was flown about
After tree fell years ago
Nature took over

Andrea Dietrich June 7, 2013 at 2:54 PM Yes, it is so interesting how nature takes over and makes something beautiful out of something like a stump. good observation, Russell.

Nette Onclaud June 7, 2013 at 2:17 PM gee, a wonderful mix of how mother earth lords it over at her command.. the ebb and flow of your lines give this work a distinct tone... superbly scribed, my friend...off to constance with laurels..:) huggs

Kim Van Breda June 7, 2013 at 8:34 AM WOW... trees and their dominance in nature-- often reduced BY nature to a stump. Clever and great description-- could smell the moss.

Anne-Lise Andresen June 7, 2013 at 7:49 AM - Beautiful, we should spend a little more time to smell, see, feel all that nature gives us of experiences. - Good luck in the contest, Russell! - Have a lovely weekend. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
