Winter Tree

Notice
that I gesture
away from myself,
upward and out,
making you raise
your eyes.

Nice image and insight! Even when they're shivering under snow, trees are such beauties...

Thanks! I've been writing a bit more poetry lately, and some of it is coming out postage stamp size. I'm thinking of sharing more poetry here...

And I do love trees. I'm getting a bit wearied on winter, but there is something so beautiful and elemental about the bare branches of a winter tree.
