Trees

The
horizon
once thick
with
vibrant
olive-drab
trees

now melts
in bone-
white
light

igniting
in the
sun
an amber
glow,
marbled
corpses.

this is beautiful beeme - wonderful imagery. Was it from a photograph or a painting?

one thing: should it be "melts"?

Hi Beeme,

what a wonderful picture you conjure up here, full
of vibrant colours, so much you have managed to
get in, in such a small space.

Love it and congratulations on the cherries.

Thanks for the read.

Jenny.

Seems we both had 'amber' on our minds tonight, Beeme;-)

A wonderful poem and showing some real versality in your ever increasing repertoire of poetry.

Much enjoyed.
