An old, majestic oak Stands tall and all alone With crooked and gnarled arms It's cooling shade, and endearing charm If it's stories could be told Of Summer's warmth and Winter's cold It would remind of how birds sing To announce the coming of Spring Of the softness of a catepillar's step Upon it's leaves as it crept The caress of a raindrop's touch That tree could tell so very much Of Summer fields of darkest green Of dainty dewdrops glistening sheen Of old man Winter's morning frost The last of Autumn's leaves pay the cost |

CHILI: Enjoyed your poem. Trees are lovely and interesting. We have a huge maple that was badly damaged during an ice storm, several years ago and everyone told us we should just take it out. We decided to give it a chance and it's almost as beautiful today as it was then. Betty Lou Hebert |

I agree with Betty. Trees are silent and mysterious. Good topics to play with.  the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Dear CHILI, I sat down underneath your enchanting tree for awhile to admire the beauty you've painted. And I must say I enjoyed it thoroughly! Many hugs Michelle If there cannot be equal in affection, then let the one with more be me - midnightblues™ |

~An old, majestic oak~ Stands tall and all alone... When I read those first two lines I was swept away to another time and another place. When I was a mere baby at the tender age of 16 me and my first love rode his motorcycle to a secluded spot and all that was standing there in that field of green grass was a beautiful oak tree. That memory holds a special place in my heart, your words you brought it back to me. Magical read. Hugs, Juls |
