Naked

One Single Impression    asks for a Naked poem.  I am known for loving trees in winter, so perhaps my little poem comes as no surprise.

solitary_oak_by_morgan_lou-d5dxfml

Denuded of its garments,
the oak stands there,
majestic in its mastery
of form for all to share.

Bare of all its greenery,
the oak rests, proud,
patient through the bad months,
waiting for a new green shroud.

  1. Just read this again. I suggest you lose ‘green’ on the last line because the extra syllable jars the rhythm.

    It’s hard, living here in the land of extremes (barest in winter, most lush greens in summer) to know which I prefer. I’ve given up trying. Solid work, V.

  5. Words to bring out the oak’s majesty.

  6. You did the mighty oak proud. :)
