Array ( [sid] => 103318 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Oak [time] => 2005-08-12 05:56:47 [hometext] => It's about a ancient oak and its eventual fate. [bodytext] => High, tall, standing up,
Breaks the roof, light streams,
Branches stem and creak,
The time flows by, ages,
The time is ripe.

Fie! Foe!

Parasite, alien,
Arms stretch up,
Ties, strangles, chokes,
A cover of darkness,
Suffocate.

Gag! Choke!

Crumble and fall,
Twisted like string,
The oak succumbs,
Changes, mutilation
Dead.

A very sad poem but alas so true of many fine trees. Old age and mistletoe are the usual enemies of Oaks. Good write top marks from bernard2
