Sarah Ann Jullion Poet Free verse

Towering Maple

Stripped from Fall's shearing
naked 
she sighs 
she groans
   As winter's wild wind 
   has his way with her.
Stronger than you, 
   am I, boasts wind,
his tempestuous howling screams
hitting hapless Lady Maple
with reckless gusts of power.

So be I, at times,
   in between seasons
   in storming times
   tossed about
As wind barrens me
   catches me again
   in winter's despair.
