haiku ~ redwood
unfelled statuesque
accomplishing amour touch
archaic redwood
redwood, I was amazed at their shear size and extreme age
some of these living redwood trees are over 3000 years old

traditional haiku-nature themed poetry contest

I'm a lighthouse that has weathered violent storms;
A tree still unfelled by the blows of an axe.
Despite blows by life's battering ram, I am ...
quite adamantine.
My faith is a chain that will never sever.
My spirit, tantamount to a rubber band.
Stretched, it returns to its original form.
It's adamantine.
