ABOUT TREES AND OTHER THINGS

Comes every year, whether we want it to or not, just like our daily lives. We all at some point submit to inevitablity as we cannot resist what is meant to happen and what we cannot change. A simple write, yet such a deep meaning. :)

Yes, the poem is simple and powerful.

It reminds me of a previous poem about an eagle...

.

I wrote a haiku for your Poem but can't seem to find it here, yours is good and as suggested a double meaning but we will just say the winter one is good as it stands lol, here's my slant on the Seasonal one:-

Summer bleached branches
Their inevitable fall
Now held in soft snow

Take care young Joe and keep them coming, Yours Ian.T

I cant find anything to crit ... sigh sometimes your poetry makes me sad this one got to me

Bravo

love your Jayne xxx

give way to fresher encounters
all our lives
else life would have been a monotonous rose
if it had no colours
nor variety
I suppose

the sun needs to show more worth
by giving nature a newer birth
and
the rains ought to wash away
what you may call sin
and
the nudity stark nakedness autumn gives
must be once again covered
as did Adam and Eve

so life's humanity and dignity
remains constant
yet not still

in life everything is cyclic
like yours and mine
coming and going

Deep in its simplicity, and deceptively material, until it forces one to think.

I expect no less from you.

Most excellent.

Have to be a party pooper here and say you can't have a 'silent thud' since 'thud' means 'a dull heavy sound'.

My interpretation of Oxymoron:-
I had an Ox he was a moron
and contradicted everything I said
in ways that made no sense.
I communicated with him
by a pin on a stick,

anyway going off the subject here are a few examples I found:-
Great Depression
Jumbo shrimp
Cruel to be kind
Pain for pleasure
Clearly confused
Act naturally
Beautifully painful
Painfully beautiful
Deafening silence
Pretty ugly
Pretty fierce
Love the word you found it can bring many poems out from some place, but I think a "dull thud" would fit the bill..
