Joseph May Poet Haiku

Skeleton Tree

now the flesh has  gone
the bones shiver in the wind
weakening the limbs

a mighty wind blows
uprooting  this  naked tree
limbs are torn apart

then sadly,  it dies
and thus  lays itself to rest
tears fall from the sky

to mourn it's passing
and nourish the seeds thereof
life comes full circle

contest by:    Nathan
contest name: Skeleton Tree
