Graceful old elm and a hound in the snow
Beech in the woods with its’ leaves still aglow
Snow covered hemlock towering above
Gnarly wild apple’s red fruit makes me sing--
Winter reveals what summer leaves hide away
When the snow bites,
When the wind howls,
When I’m feeling cold--
I simply remember my favorite trees,
And then I don’t feel.... so froze!
Chilly sunrises that gleam thru the tree branches
Even so, this winter-- it IS getting old!
When the snow bites,
When the wind howls,
When I’m feeling cold--
I simply remember my favorite trees,
And then I don’t feel... so froze!
PS- And it would be nice to be where palm trees grow!

Thanks Laura! Too bad I didn't have our old "rhyming wheel" -- I could have used it for some of those lines. Oh well, "froze" was the best I could do, even if it's poor english and doesn't rhyme. ;-) Both of the Elm trees are photos taken at your place. Ruby helped me today.
DeleteNancy, As always, I loved your blog. I have a huge picture of a bare tree in my home to remind me that trees without leaves are beautiful. Elaine Biesecker
