Deciduous

Neville

Deciduous

 

Are you not cold

Tis winter after all

Enquired veronica

The ever greenest shrub

Of the naked and still

Shivering tree

 

Yes I am very

Very cold indeed

And will be oh’ so much

Re-leaved when

Spring returns and

Smiles down on us

 

Me too replied the

Naked bush

Deciduous

Yes of course I love you

Both so very much

Sighed Veronica

    The difference between ever and naked deciduous makes needing that Veronica's warm love so vital methinks.... . I smiled at your word-play with that term - - - "re-leaved" .............intriguing nature- read Nev.

      It seems I am so transparent you can see write through me ... bless you and true dear Fay...

                  My friend poet Neville, I apologize for my ignorance but I did not understand your poem even though I love your words very much. Maybe because I’m not from England? Sending love ❤️

                    Clever write Neville, the conversations that go on within forests and woods can be startling.
