Corinne Curcio Poet Free verse

Resplendent Once More

Resplendent Once More

The trees have had 
A collective memory lapse
For their bony arms 
And gnarled, arthritic hands
Reach, beseech the sky:

Why have you forsaken us?
We are cold and naked
Where is our leafy finery?
Shall it ever be spring again?

They forget 
That they’ll soon be bedecked 
With cloaks of green

And while
I know how they feel
That is not 
What shall make me
Resplendent once more

L'Nass Shango April 6, 2009 at 5:52 AM Very concisely phrased, beauty packaged in brevity. An excellent nature poem.

Daver Austin April 5, 2009 at 6:07 AM I like the idea of bringing trees to life, which most definitely is the case..."gnarled, arthritic hands' Courage, dear Corinne, spring is just around the corner, even if the corner is several miles down the street. Love, daver
