Trees - Ros Willard

The slender poplars
quiver in expectation
as Spring approaches.

Heads bowed, willows wash
long lustrous gold-green tresses
in sun-flecked rivers.

Dying russet leaves
fall; a discarded ball-gown.
The dance is over.

Silver birches, stark
against a monochrome sky,
bleed internally.
