Wintering

Wintering
Leave us in peace, the trees cry out. Kill us not.
The vandal wind has already tried.
When the people arrived, there was
Lamentation, of sorts, for a while,
But most just walked by,
Treading on our bones.
The dead leaves fall,
And keep falling.
Take some to
Write on if you
Will, before
The thunder
Storm
Comes
Once
More.

Barely alive, kept almost
Freezing, we remain.

I am flattered that you think the poem sounds very much like D H Lawrence! I've never read any D H Lawrence poems, so now I might take a look. All the poems I post without attribution are my own, for readers to make of what they will.

A stark, but beautiful winter scene Rachel.........captured in lovely light. I like the contrast between the dark trees and the snow.
