Branches bud,
blooming greenery that rustles
in springtime whispers.
Solstice marks carved trunk
with roots fruition drenched in dew.
Blistering chills blow
in time's tawny hues littering canvas
with autumn's rainbow.
Flakes fall to dress stalk
stripped bare by winter winds' wrath.

Thank you much for the honorable mentions.
I truly am honored.
I fully admit, I have often seen your contests and thoughts them to be too challenging and thus turned away. Yesterday morning I saw this one and decided I would give it a try. I know you are like myself, difficult to impress as a judge and thus receiving honorable mentions is truly an honor for me THANK YOU!
