Some say it belongs on Rash Hashanah
Others the creaking bow of Cybele and Ishtar
Below sulfur coated floors in hades' kitchen,persephone's grisly home
Possibly the mouth of the savior, a virgin's manger snack
Or even Hera's crown which all could see in the northern sky-
But before all the upward looks and mythological books to see
Did it not come from a tree?

What an interesting poem - drawing together these religious images and then relating them back to nature is a very strong idea. I think too much store is set by the religious (and I am one) on imagery - to the detriment of spiritual reality.

Smart poetry. Well done. This one really interests me, I like it.

something got messed up with submitting, the same poem got submitted with a different title and background "branch bent with preaching"
