Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Imagism

The Massive Tree And The Old House

The tree tired leaned 
Against the old house
A ladder leaning
Against the massive 
Tree front of the house
The ladder looked small
The tree branches dead
All the leaves were gone
It was an old tree
The tree tired
It could not stand tall
So it leaned on the house
It was ready to fall 
All the tree needed
Was a guest of wind
To fall to the ground
