Arboreal Awakening: A #ThrowbackThursday (5/17/18) .@ImageCurve #haibun

BY FRANK J. TASSONE ยท 22ND FEBRUARY 2018

The far maple, where I once hung Frankieโ€™s tire swing, blooms. The maple beside our deck, the one with moss growing up its split trunk, arises from its winter slumber, too.

We will enjoy another warm season with these old friends.

tiniest blossoms

bowing its lowest branches

over the deck

basking in the radiance

of mountain sunsets

    Trees do become old friends we greet when they say hello again in spring. Lovely personification in this poem, Frank.
