The picture I see is of old growth trees, with deep scarred hued bark, and bright green moss draped, and filigree ferns, with wild tangled vines. Less and less remain, trees lost to logging, impacts on climate, impacts on creatures, a hush is falling, in the rainforest. The picture I see of these old growth trees, make me want to weep, soon they will be gone, just a picture seen in a book perhaps. ______________________ March 18, 2021 Poetry/Tableau Verse/Old Growth Trees Copyright Protected, ID 03-1337-210-18 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Tableau sponsor, Joseph May, Judged 03/26/2021
