The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Resonance and Rich Earthy Tone

The squeaking trees
swayed back and forth
through the night
whining and aching
limbs snapping
 and wind blowing
the structural wood failure 
a tree begins to sway in the wind
typically a low deep groan
or creak followed by a sharp
pop and snap and ping
when the fibers began to
unravel and slit
the stresses of tension and shear
the fibers start to crack
the high pitched tearing or
ripping sounds
where fibers are being pulled apart
and fibers are sliding past one another
