Naked Autumn Trees......(.NOVEMBER CONTEST2017)
Naked Autumn Trees
Seeds- Root-Trunk-Branches –
soft feathery leaves
raindrops
small still
Spell bound nudity,
I am the autumn tree
lanky trunk
in cold winters breeze
I freeze...
My bark -like thin skin
tightens---
the warmth within me
I ought to contain
Autumns will come again and again
but for many years
I have to sustain...
My multi colorful leaves
strewn across the fields
still remember me as a mother tree
now stark bare and nude
but still lovely
why has it, its kids now abandoned.
lonely isolated leaves do wonder.
Out in the whiteness of snow
now I stand naked all alone
hoping spring will spring- soon enough
to re-clothe me
I will face many more autumns similarly
so friends abide with me
I stand stark naked
nude yet so lovely
all come to admire me
not birds only...

By far one of your better works I hope that I am not pushed into third position on the contest now as I am fed up of cruises no matter where..
Take care young Bard and you do see what we have been on about all these years, you have wasted so much time when you can write great stuff,
Yours as always Ian..

I is still the same and sometimes I write something that many like, but this time I told you I would be third, and all I won was a hamper from a well known shop on Oxford street London.
There was a miniature of single malt in there so I was pleased, the rest I gave to a food bank down the road,
Take care young Bard and keep writing,
Yours as always Ian..
