The Heart of the Matter
A chapter in the book Picture Poems, Vol 2
A Crown of Leaves
by Treischel
As I looked
in astonishment At the silent sky Transfixed by the fluttering leaves, The arching branches Caught my eye With their colors of red and green. Their graceful forms, So light and free In the forest air, Wrought a wonderful screen Forming a marvelous shape In the form of A Crown of Leaves With its central curves Revealing an image of The Heart in the Tree. |
In Southwestern Minnesota along the Great Plains region of the state is Shetek State Park. In August of 2012, I took this photograph of a flowering tree that was located right in the middle of the Campground. The leaves and branches looked like they formed a beautiful heart in the middle. That tickled my romantic Muse and inspired me to write this little free verse poem.
This photograph is the reason that this poem exists, it moved me to express what I saw in verse.
I am including it in my book called Picture Poems, which are all poems resulting from the picture image.
