Tree's dress

Eleni Van Wollingen 2011 (Forrestdale)

Rhymed
Tree stood in her dress
Of all red and browns
Spring fell away
Her dress fell to the ground

The Lady stood naked
Her arms up in shock
While the other trees laughed
And cackled in mock

Winter passed through
He didn't care
But she held up her head
Her body still bare

And there on the spot
Wind whipping around
She grew a new dress
It's colour's abound

About this poem

The poem is meant to personificate the tree and how when she loses her leaves (her dress) she feel empty.
