Birched Beauty slender and white rising high against fall's bluest sky birch beauty is splendor in motion commotion heaves among fall leaves and birch grows slowly naked, to await winter's gray and starker days to come forever reaching upward toward it's crown of stardust glory or to tickle with skeletal fingertip sun's chin, as an entreaty for yet a little more shine from which a new dress of spring sprung green shall bloom, all for the reclothing of the birch beauty in splendor ~*~ Reposted for a Very Gentle Spirit.... ~*~ ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 29 September, 2000 |

Oooh, yes! I have two weeping birches in my front yard and I enjoy their varied forms of beauty in each season. There were times, in winter, when we first moved here, that on a clear night, as the moon shone through the bare branches, it appeared as a gigantic web. In some respects, eerie, yet an iridescence seemed to filter through. I think they brought Frost's poem even more into focus for me, those 28 years ago and on. Your poem is 'right on!' Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

A wonderful picture. I could see it! In truth, what defines us is our poetry. |
