Gratitude poem of the day #3, five lines in iambic pentameter, 11/25/2015

POPLAR GRATITUDE


A crooked tree, a naked branch--a leaf?
How does it stay attached, this russet thing
with specks of green? Tenacity, perhaps?
Impertinence?  A yes to winter’s no?
Or newly grown and confident of spring....
