Majestically it stands there
Surveying all it sees
The winter branches barren
Devoid of lush green leaves.
****
Yet life is still within it
Just waiting for the spring
When its buds start blooming
And the birds begin to sing
****
In summer comes its glory
When it wears a party dress
Of several different colours
Its beauty outshines the rest
****
Then autumn comes a-calling
And it starts a slow striptease
The leaves are changing colour
And are dropping in the breeze
****
This is the work of nature
Of death and then re-birth
The barren and the beautiful
The treasures from the earth.
This is a poem I wrote some time ago, that I thought would fit the bill perfectly for my understanding of a vignette, the task for today’s Writing 101 course.
Very beautiful phrases.
