Old Oak Tree

Old Oak Tree

A Poem by Kate Henderson

Alone it stands 
In a suspect moor 
Tall and grand 
Overlooking the ground
Green luscious leaves 
Litter its boughs 
No fruits to be seen 
Its wisdom is rich 
A vast wrinkled trunk 
The anchor of life
Time passes things by 
Except the Old Oak Tree 
Lost in memory 
Of an old reverie

This made me think of a tree close to my grandmother's house. I used to sit under it daily as a child to read or write. Thanks for bringing that memory back to me. Nicely done.

Thank you for your kind review! Glad it brought back some nice memories :)
If poems could buy six packs this one would be forking out the cash and throwing you the frothies in 10 seconds.

It's a solid 10/10.

I didn't realise that a tree could be written about in such vivid and detail. It felt to as if the tree had many stories to be told.

Tall and grand, overlooking the ground - vivid use of words.

Mark.
