  Gloom, despair, cynicism all part of the total picture but try to keep that compartmentalized and not become cancerous.

I’m not a tree either. I have, however, been using tree limbs to make art.

You are more versatile than a tree. Thank heaven for that. Your poem is sad and beautiful. I think a truly creative person has many dimensions and that certainly shines thru here with this poem. Thank you, Carl.

Too sad… I can’t believe this is true…(more to the point don’t want to). Forever remove hopes and dreams?? Not sprout new growth??

  I like your optimism and spirit of not being defeated. The poem is an expression of despair but I also hope it is not necessary to remain in that place. Thanks for visit.

  I wrote it several years ago and made many revisions until it said what I tried to convey. In the rare times I do poetry I try to keep it as short as possible to give a focused punch.
