Silent Tree of Winter,
Branches now barren
Except for teardrops
As you await
The new buds of Spring,
Or strands of jewels
Left behind by rain?
Syllabic Verse
Tag: barren
A Tree in Winter
Drought
Waiting for Spring
Original Photograph by Leona J. Atkinson
Empty pots
Sit and patiently wait
For Spring’s warmth
To bring life
And fill their barren containers
With fragrant color
