Black Trees haikus
The lamp post leans...light,
is dim...the wind blows...rain, falls
black trees...sway on wall
loud pitter-patters
drop...pound heav'ly on the roof
black trees...droop on wall
ceding...accepting...
floods rush...spreads all over...the
black trees... sway no more
roots have lost their grip
too much water...inundates
black trees...surrender
life...is like a tree
there are many elements
water is just one
nothing's permanent
floods recede...sun returns...then
black trees sway once more.
