Winter trees
I finally found you 
stripped to boned boughs
by nature's search for an answer
you're taller than you know
from shadows which outstretch December
and leaves, they cling at your heels - frosted
still too young to let you go

That's a beautiful winter poem. Love the first 3 lines, in particular.

A lovely poem.

This line chills and fits well with today...

Nothing quite as beautifully bare as your pic and poem here yet hoalarg, but getting there!

Yes. Caught perfectly and beautifully. Bleached to boned boughs.  Very evocative, as was it all.

 Sparse, not a word wasted, that's why it's our Poem of the Week. Well done!
