Sara Kendrick Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

The Tree

I remember the tree verdant in spring
Those years stretched out could be filled with anything

I had dreams of strong limbs and plenitude
Thoughtfully give limbs for nest and bedewed

I saw you change in fall to colors rare
The frost touched your leaves and limbs unaware

I saw winds swoop from the north stripping pride
Then run its course, your fears you tried to hide

I wonder what will happen to the tree
Though life issues idiosyncrasy
