Notes About The Poem

Two Sapling Oaks

Two sapling oaks in early spring
                           Soft sage color their tender leaves wave
                                                                               Light reflects

Verdant leaves intertwine in summer
                          Their bond has stood the test of time
                                                                              Limbs reach next

Their leaves of brilliant autumn color
                          Have reached past their prime, fall
                                                                               color specks

When winter comes, and twisted limbs fall
                           The light shines through and reaches brush
                                                                                   glow projects

Valsa George May 7, 2026 at 9:34 PM Hi Sara, from the gnarled roots, new shoots will come when spring begins. Their lush green color is so very arresting.

Terry Griffiths May 4, 2026 at 12:13 PM I like how you have played around with falling after prime and Fall as a season. Really great form choice, and you have pulled it off! Sara Kendrick May 4, 2026 at 1:27 PM Thank you, Terry, for the uplifting review of my work. Sara K

Andrea Dietrich May 1, 2026 at 9:26 PM Nicely done , Sara. It might look different by computer but on my phone , the lines are split apart making it a bit hard to read. Are you using large indentations? Sara Kendrick May 2, 2026 at 3:54 AM Andrea, yes, I did a step kind of look. I did not know that anyone would be reading the poems on their phone/s. Thanks for the visit. Sara K
