Eight-line Poems

Birches

Birches

Silver birches, ghostly in the moonlight,
slender and elegant mannikins
on the leafy, midnight catwalk,
they bend and sway together,
a chorus line of stately grace,
voices a whispered anthem
on the slightest eddy of air.

Roots delve deep in the dark mysteries of earth.
