Daily Sip - Winter Trees

Winter Trees

All the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!
A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.
Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.

by William Carlos Williams

It's almost spring, though!

Not in Australia.

Williams, Neruda, Yeats...mmmm, good goodness

"Not in Australia."

I know, how hemispherecentric of me... : ) What's it like in Aussieland? Are you experiencing those last sweet days of summer with bright mornings and chilly nights?

I like this poem even though it says "liquid moon."
