Wednesday Word - Winter Trees


All the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!
A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.
Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.

"Winter Trees" by William Carlos Williams, from Sour Grapes: A Book of Poems. © Public domain. There is a free Kindle version of this book.
