Jenish Somadas Poet Other

Winter trees

Grand lush green
Their uniforms unseen
Stripped to the dress of Adam they wear

Leaning in lines on vacant roads, naked and bare
Fleeting wings shy off and vanish into thin air

Day and night rolls, then quietly freeze
Longing for a warm breeze
Winter trees




First place in 'A Trois-par-Huit for December Contest' by Andrea Dietrich

Gershon Wolf December 6, 2025 at 9:10 PM Adam was allegedly as tall as a tall tree, 40 meters or so... Apt analogy, as he was bare too. Jenish Somadas December 6, 2025 at 10:30 PM lol.. Thank you Gershon..
