Majestically it stands there
Surveying all it sees
The winter branches barren
Devoid of lush green leaves.
Yet life is still within it
Just waiting for the spring
When its buds start blooming
And the birds begin to sing
In summer comes its glory
When it wears a party dress
Of several different colours
Its beauty outshines the rest
Then autumn comes a-calling
And it starts a slow striptease
The leaves are changing colour
And are dropping in the breeze
This is the work of nature
Of death and then rebirth
The barren and the beautiful
The treasures from the earth.
I love that poem thank you so much for participating! 🙂

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
