Skeleton Tree At Sunset

Skeleton Tree At Sunset

mangled phalanges
reach from haunched spectral shoulders
death screams at dusk

U painted a grotesque looking image which did great justice to the photo...creepy eerie and all the things a haunted tree emulate....wonderful haiku, Susan...I had something in mind for this contest, but by the time I got home from work to post it, it was closed! So goes it with the fast and furious world of PS contests...lol...luv, gwendolen

Your poem gives the dead tree an animal-like quality. Admirable.
