MY TREE IN THE WINTER ~ is stark and forlorn
Bare trunk and bare branches ~ her leaves have all gone
Freezing and breezing and covered in snow
Rejected ~ dejected and so full of woe !
MY TREE IN THE SPRING ~ a much happier creature
Bright green her leaves and blossom her feature
Song birds are nesting and singing all day
In the roots and the branches ~ there are squirrels at play !
MY TREE IN THE SUMMER ~ majestic her sight
Her leaves photosynthetic ~ and they switch off at night
Shade to sit under ~ fruit and nuts to enjoy
My Tree in the Summer ~ I climbed as a Boy !
MY TREE IN THE AUTUMN ~ She acts very strange
From just GREEN to a RAINBOW her leaves start to change
Red ~ Orange ~ Yellow ~ Green ~ Blue and Violet
And then they turn Brown and fall down to Earth ~ silent !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love to all BRIAN XOX

- Comment from author about the poem: We all love TREES and in the UK they are a classical feature of our Urban and Rural landscape. On a global scale trees are essential to maintain the ecological balance. They are an essential part of the Water Cycle and control the level of CARBON DIOXIDE (a Greenhouse Gas). They breath in CO2 and photosynthesise it into glucose and breath out oxygen ! Animals do the opposite and thus maintain equilibrium ! Deforestation for timber and urban development increases the atmospheric CO2 level and consequently Global Warming. Please protect and preserve your trees !

Welcome
I think this may be my favorite of your poems, Brian. The personification of the trees is really great and makes me sympathetic to what they go through, whether it be playful little creatures hanging from their limbs or losing on of their prettiest features. Really great job.
THANKS JAB ! So pleased you liked it. It came to me in the night fortunately I wrote it down and the four verses just fell into place ~ Hugs BRIAN
