Trees of Old

Trees have a kind of flexibility,
Given time they will grow
And left untouched
Branches will wrap around
With twisted, gnarled limbs,
Integrating themselves
Into unintentional abstract art.
A photographer's dream.

Isaiah Zerbst Date: 2/2/2013 10:41:00 AM Good question. I sometimes wonder the same thing myself. Especially about those trees that are six feet or greater in diameter.

Thanks for stopping by and for your comment. Warm Smiles, Connie

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/7/2013 5:53:00 PM hey, this is really cool. And it reminded me of another poem somebody else here wrote last week on the same topic. VERY nicely done!

Such characteristic each one has. So different yet the same. Warm Smiles, Connie
