Winter trees

 
Winter Trees
William Carlos Williams


All the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed! 





A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches. 





Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter 




the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.

  3. I love taking pictures of trees - and like you, while looking up and snapping the branches against the sky - - these are lovely!
