My Precious Tree Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

My Precious Tree

Rating: 5.0


My precious tree
Is being beaten by the angry wind
Hypnotized by a power
So uncontrollable
It swirled, swayed and moaned
Its branches danced crazily
Leaves were combed
Removed forcefully
Like children that were taken away
From their loving mother
Without mercy.

Beautiful depiction of the tree and the wind. I love trees. Wind itself is a natural power so nothing wrong but as metaphors the wind and the tree work greatly and something special.Loved reading.

The angry lash of wind No merciful on him Slash slash all out Just the trunk behind.... You have magnificently painted the cyclone or natural calamity... beautiful.

Of course, nature can be at the cruellest, like we can read in this amazingly described poem of the great poetess, but if this momentum is compared with a mother whose. children are taken away without mercy, this deepest pain for the loving mother, at the same time also for the great poetess. Nature can be sweet but also cruellest like the scene we have just watched.in this magnificent poem.

Leaves having done their job fall. They then do another job - making compost - new soil for new plants. Lovely poem, I love trees too.
