Standing in all their royalty
majestic rulers in silent spirit
arms lifted in teal piety
Housing birds serpents vultures
yet gentle as the lamb
her shade cools earth's breeze
Shamelessly brave
during nature's storms
until her sister's blown down
There's no lovelier creation
gifted among life's
thicket of trees

Good description of the many personalities of a tree. In the second line, ruler's should be rulers. The second stanza is my favorite. Well done.

Gorgeous tree in the photo. Teal piety kind of threw me off but the poem was lovely nonetheless. Thank you for entering.
