Tree of Death

Souls swing on trees as snowflakes, they melt into bark coffins, pearl blood of bare forest blends; rising as angels... September 30th 2020 Contest: Writing Challenge – Dodoitsu Sponsor: Constance La France First Place

wow, deep and beautiful. Maybe I am seeing it wrong, but it makes me think of a blues song to do with poor souls who were hanged by Klansmen. It is a very poetic song and I can't even think of its name right now. Anyway, belated congrats on your well deserved win.

This poem captures the beauty of death in the circle of life so wonderfully Chantelle. I loved this moving piece that is sure to do well in the contest my friend. I am still caught up in paperwork and transferring things into my name in the aftermath of my husband’s death. Reading poetry helps ground me. Very lovely! Blessings xxoo

Hello Connie! Wow! I'm blushing from your beautiful commentary! Thank you so much. I appreciate you stopping by. Blessings to you my friend. I definitely know how hard paperwork after my father's suicide. Love Chantelle hugs
