Once again, I’m writing a poem a day in support of all the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) writers in their challenge to produce 50,000 words in 30 days.

Tree in Abscise

From the window, I watch you become

inflamed as if shamed by the sudden

rush of your own beauty. Not long ago you idled

in the heat of summer’s yawn, camouflaged

in tender verdure. I thought this was your true

nature, but now I see the way you draw the dew

within, shed what won’t last through winter.
