Tall Tree Poem by Gayatri Phukan

TALL TREE

I feel amazed
Seeing some tall tree
Not a single leafremain there
to provide shadow
Neither branches or twigs
for the birds to sing
perched on that
The grasses
and also the shrubs
wonder
At the tall trees
changing positions
The forest too
is apprehensive
seeing the bare trees

The tall trees
Do not have an
equally tall mind
To bother about
Where would the
Sun
and
the wind
Sit down to rest
