Question:

I look at trees and I see women and I cheer them on when things get tough.........?

by | earlier

...do you?

Miss Maple

The weaker Maple hit third

gear and punched the wind wildly

sacrificial leaves led the torrent

elsewhere while she held out hope

banking on her anchors

in the ground as she watched

the mighty Oak give up and give

out, wooden flesh runaways

screamed for help as they spun

the futile descent to fire-

wood and flower sh*t.

Good one! Makes me think of the big oak tree I found yesterday that blew over in the storm of this past weekend. It uprooted and split so I can't really justify paying somebody to saw it into lumber for me is it's gonna find it's way to my firewood pile, it will not have died in vain.

Dang it ..... The cycle of life to heat my cardboard box and pretty-up my 3' by 2' box garden. The sacrifices that the elder mothers make for me

Ah yes, the ever lovely Miss Maple. Who will win her heart. as they race around the nursing home after her. Wheel chairs at the ready. The sharting will start. And they're off. LMAO

Nice one dear boy.

Very well put Buk.. I reckon a tree is stout like us women. Nearly cried when i had to give up my old pine tree that was blown over by high winds.Then again when i had to give up my 2 ornamental pear trees. But i guess it like a woman past her prime . Sooner or later they have to go.That poem made me think and know we cant last forever. Thanks.
