Notes About The Poem

Just thought that how the changing color of leaves, then them falling reminded me of a man's hair graying then falling out..

Skeletal Oak

Skeletal once stately oak
Leaves changed their glossy color
Slowly then they fell 'pon ground
Final blow nuts gone

there was a squirrel burying oak acorns in my flower pot....I had to dig them up to plant some bulbs.

Love these shorter forms. That "skeletal stately oak," the feel almost human. Love, daver

Cute one for the contest Sara. I thought about doing one with pines and did get it written but decided not to post it. Drawing blanks lately on writing or I should say nothing is sounding right. Will be done my fill in job this week and should have more time. love phyl
