As raging wind and gentle breezes blow.
From side to side your twisted branches lean,
Ever watchful as life struggles too and fro.
Enjoyed reading your poem SheilaO. If trees could talk they would certainly have a story to tell.

REALLY short stories are also fascinating, and deceptively difficult to write. The only one I can remember offhand goes something like, "Baby shoes for sale. Never worn." It's by a famous writer I think, but can't recall his name at the moment. Just 6 words but they say it all.
