 Joy's Terse Verse

Trees



UGLY TREE

limbs lopsided
leaves all loose
trunk in tatters,
ugly goose

BIG TREE

stretched out sideways
girth so wide
a whole village
lives inside

NEAT TREE

dainty slender branches
arched so tall with grace
trunk in patterned order
every leaf in place

ROMANTIC TREE

will you marry me
my love
stretch and kiss
me quick
merge into my
shadow space
let's exchange a stick

OLD TREE

broken branches
scratched up bark
leaves half missing
all is dark

DEPRESSED TREE

I'm stuck here
in this horrid ground
I cannot run or play
I cannot bounce a ball or skip
on not a single day

COLD TREE

scrawny scraggy
fragile thin
shaking bending
in the wind

HOT TREE

hot and heaving
leaves all dry
feel so thirsty
want to cry

BORED TREE

all I do
is stand and stare
at the birds
who fly up there

Joy Weare.
27th January, 2005.
