I'VE ALWAYS LOVED TREES

 I’VE ALWAYS LOVED TREES

So beautiful as they sway in the breeze

like skeleton hands

using the language of the deaf

reminds me of Jeff

the man hung until his death

it wasn’t quick

but mr slick

got what he deserved

outmaneuvered by women

his skin, now thin like linen

those he denigrated in life

he couldn’t fight in death

on Halloween night

at 12:01 AM

the souls he stole

made quick work of that fool.

Muhahahaha!

Yet another reason to love trees.

Hi Renee ... well done ... a clever poem ... love it - and I always love trees ... but hopefully don't see reminders of skeletons in them ... enjoy the All Souls season - cheers Hilary
