Author Description

Like people, trees can tell stories long after they cease to be alive. Sometimes the forms they shape into take on a human quality. These works of art by Mother Nature endure season after season, hanging around long enough to be admired and even loved by those who see and somehow feel a deep connection. Capable of evoking all manner of human emotion, they might inspire hope, fatherly advice, philosophical musing or perhaps give cause for one to question his or her own sanity. "Ode to a Dead Tree" is a rhythmic progression of poems filled with poignant memories, reflections and vivid images of country life. Comments form other writers: # "You always put an interesting 'spin' on your work." # "I love the rhythm in your work - and the sound and imagery." # "Powerful sense of yearning" # "So versatile in your writing - wonderfully constructed." # "An intense piece of work, picturesque, sad reflective, succinct." # "Stay in the madness that writes such beauty."
