Wilting Tree Poem by Valsa George
Wilting Tree
Her bright eyes grew dim
Her ruddy cheeks grew pale
Her face like a dented kitchenware
Now a symbol of blighted loveliness
Sorrow buried in the recesses of her heart
She lets them cower and brood
Dormant fires,
Anytime may grow into a conflagration
Dry sorrow sucks her blood
Her sleep poisoned by melancholy
She has been a Moon
Now veiled by mist
Once she glowed with radiance and beauty
Now there is a wintry chill
Inside and outside
In the shade of a giant oak,
She grew from a tender tree,
To the pride and beauty of the grove
Graceful in form
Bright in foliage
But struck by
An unexpected pestilence
It is withering
Drooping its branches down
Shedding leaf by leaf
To fall down and rot
Like that shady oak, abruptly cut down!
Beautiful piece with a strong metaphor on the life of a woman.............Valsa.........so nicely worded......I am speechless
Sad feelings expressed in the poem deeply felt and it is a well written and beautifully created and as a reader interested much.

deep and dark, this is a great poem of powerful metaphor.
A poem on woman with sadness is astutely and touchingly delineated. The last stanza is much impressive. Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing.
Untimely death! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
indeed most find it difficult to move on a beautiful poem thanks Valsa-10
Valsa, re the appreciated-poet's note: my wife has told me that she gets to die before i do. [as usual, she is trying to be boss! ] i guess that would remove her difficulty of deciding which path she would take, or worrying about which one would overtake her. thanks for sharing. bri :)
Beautiful poem depicting woman's true life. Very true said, painful is the separation, where everything drips down..Loved the way you presented it.
