Branch Poems - Poems about Branch

Premium Member I am a shadow on the branch of the family tree,
I am a shadow on the branch of the family tree, A lost echo in the memory of a mother who would shudder with shame, A shapeless form trying to survive, to breathe, Yet failing like a withered leaf falling before its time. My father looks at me through mirrors of unforgiveness, Like a piece of furniture silently regretted, I know...

Premium Member In a late autumn, when the last leaf sways on the branch of fate

I do not let feelings live...

Premium Member An Olive Branch

Premium Member Birdies On a Branch
Birdies on a branch are cuddled up so fine Bunched up closer than clothespins on a line Snoring in sync, a luscious lullaby in a whispery way The rest of the forest animals cannot look away Their mama is gone, says one. Let’s help them to have lots of fun....
