ontology

outstripped by oak's and ash's
scopic canvass top hamper,
innumerous nubilous canopy,

a darkled knurly dogwood tree,
wind, sporadic sunlight splashes,
tries twisted turnings to pamper
its knackered, rapacious panoply.

excrescent gnarled deformity
sans springtime's floral scamper,
my psyche's deciduous biography.

Gets out her dictionary....oh, okay, I get it now
Just joking, well written piece

A sequel stands beyond,
Invisable as music,
But positive as sound."
