Naked Tree

Folder: 
Wildlife/Nature

Tree,



shrugging off

its leafy cover

like a

worn out

coat

from lanky

limbs,

revealing

bare bark

to elements

of nature.



Tree,



Standing

vulnerable,

tall,

stark

naked branches,

devoid

of foliage

exposed

for all

to see

its wooden

bones

beneath.



Tree,



immodest

timber

nudist,

concealing

little from

gazing eyes,

in self-assured

expression

of a

forest

exihibitionist.



Tree,



Brazen, bold

wood nymph

shamelessly

displayed,

barely

conspicuous

in the

undressed

state

of season's

change.
