A Lone Birch Tree

by Richard L. Provencher  
11/09/2017 / Poetry

scales one side

of the highest hill

holding fast with roots

not plunging so deep.

 

A standout in a sea of green

from spruce to willow

and poplar to a few scattered

cedar. It is more than

a fist of iron in

its demeanor

 

like moose in a forest

stalwart and independent.

Then someone came

and cut it down

 

a hiker cold and alone

chopped it into

pieces of kindling. Now feel

its fireball of warmth.

 

(c) 2017 Richard L. Provencher
