Hands Interlocked
Look above
And you will see
Stars gazing back
Behind bare trees
Grey stumps will regrow
As bark strapped
Bear lovers' names
Gnarled roots
Interlock hands
As savory pine scents
Waft through the air
And leathery leaves
Covered with moss
Bare chirping families

Gnarled roots
Interlocked hands
What a nice capture of what could be a complicated relationship and yet a necessary one to go with, or at least what I understand.
Nice to read you here Gigi
Thank you for sharing.

Memories
Vivid memories of walking in the woods with a significant other. Observing nature, in particular the trees. I was always fascinated with how their roots looked like tangled arms and hands. Your works are simply beautiful and I enjoy reading them! Good job!

Hello, Gigi,
The intelligent, friendly, interconnected life and environment in the woods! I can almost "hear" the trees communicating through their roots, and the sounds of squirrels, chipmunks, birds, all the wild creatures meandering on the woods' floor. Peaceful and undisturbed.
Thank you,
Lavender

Wow
I just like the use of personification in the poem. Using human attribute to compare with stars brings the piece to a great height. And that's simply, a display of your poetic mastery!
Nice job!
