The Trees In Winter

In the autumn all trees all trees Lose their leaves for winter That leaves the trees bare Then the first snowflakes come When the first snowfall begins The branches are covered with snow They are dressed for a short time With a huge coat of snow The snow falls from the trees All branches are bare once more This happens all winter log The branches coated with snow Then bare once it melts When it is snowing - then The shuffles begins It turns to freezing rain That is when the branches sparkles In the sunlight of many colors So beautiful to be watching Yet once the sun melts the ice The branches are bare again

You know me Darlene...like living in constant spring..we do have seasons but not drastic, as when living in Chicago. But loved ice storms when I was 12 and snow.... too. Many gorgeous trees here of all types. Three Pine trees in my backyard and an Orange tree. Beautiful rose bushes in front. Good poem Darlene. A tree lover, Panagiota

Hello Tom, yes it is a chilly scene. It is not easy to shovel heavy snow away from the deck door. Yet it had to be done. Have a nice day my fiend.

You described the life of trees very well. How said trees do not die, they get chopped down. Have a lovely day

Hello silent One, yes it is so sad that trees do not die in winter. Some dead trees get chopped down. Others just stand ther year after year no one bothers them. Have a nice day my friend.
