Naked Trees (November Contest lol)

Oh wonders of Novembers view
Trees stripped bare I thought of you
As forked trees caught my eyes
A bare bum reflected should I pry

Its trunk seemed to be a figure true
Two branches reaching for the blue
I had to smile here’s the reason why
An artist his skill had to apply.

Someone in their brightest hour
Painted a pair of knickers there
Now I cannot look at a tree
Bared in its winter coat for me

As all now that me, perverted, can see
Asses and legs pointing up, no tree.
Autumns joy in colour’s abounding
Now I wander around just smiling.

That artist should ply his trade world wide as there are too many frowning faces around lol......stan

was a spate of painting these things on trees and they made people smile.
When I was in Aussie a couple of years ago in the street we were in, someone had painted their wheelie bins with lovely flowers, and the tree outside also had a great lot of flowers on the trunk, it brightened the area up a little.
Thanks for your visit, and I hope all is well with you there,
Yours Ian..

This sweet little poem reminds me of the tree shaping artist Peter Cook. You should look up his work online! He has formed trees in living chairs, little people, all kinds of fun and beautiful things.

Good luck with the contest,

We had a piece on Tele a few years ago where the trend was to paint knickers and pants on trees.
Just couldn't resist the chance to have a laugh,
You take care out there, love from us here, Ian xx

A bare bum reflected...

I had to abandon mine

so don't whine
good luck for the cruise
hope you don't suffer
any
heart scratching bruise

Just a fun poem as I remembered that someone had painted Pants on a few trees a few years back.

I suppose if you paint the gum trees that are that lovely pink colour realism will find a notch lol

If you write a poem and need to edit it at a short later date just stream it and then unpublish it ASAP it will be there for you to sort out for quite a while..
If this is any help in your storage problem, or just ask someone to help I am sure there are areas you can store your works,
Yours Ian..

If this is a comment then you best stick to something else use Gorilla glue it is good for sticking, my feathers never move now.
I have been here about ten years now and if comments have sunk to this level then we best give up.
One Sparrow that can spit snakes if need be.
Now read the write and right the comment, it is a great pity we cant reject any comments that have nothing to do with the write. 666 get your complete bar code sorted before the end times..
Yours, Yenti..

...my comments are directed at your verse. your naked trees need redressing. they would be much improved by a little stuffing and a stitch here and there, that's the gist of it. i were being poetic! lighten up, le moineau! x

Sparrow

Great to hear from you again after all this time, even Kelsey knew who it was.
While you are here and I hope fore a long time it is OK with me young frog, but are you coming back and commenting as you should do or do we have a good old abuse and arguments run ???
Thanks for the explanation of the comment, the contest was about November trees lol..
Take care out there. Yours The tortured Sparrow xx
