The Oak

Contributed by DarkYuke on Friday, 12th August 2005 @ 05:56:47 AM in AEST
Topic: NaturePoetry



High, tall, standing up,
Breaks the roof, light streams,
Branches stem and creak,
The time flows by, ages,
The time is ripe.

Fie! Foe!

Parasite, alien,
Arms stretch up,
Ties, strangles, chokes,
A cover of darkness,
Suffocate.

Gag! Choke!

Crumble and fall,
Twisted like string,
The oak succumbs,
Changes, mutilation
Dead.

A very sad poem but alas so true of many fine trees. Old age and mistletoe are the usual enemies of Oaks. Good write top marks from bernard2
