Swan song, you say. Not yet.
My feathers may be
a bit ruffled, but I am
still sporting my neck
muscles. We all need
change from time to time,
so I do not find
it strange that trees
have rearranged themselves,
possibly to dip those thirsty
leaves at the top in this lake,
and allow roots to unbury, and get
closer to the sky.

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York.
My goal is to create and share poetry with others
who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.
I really like this interpretation of the image, especially the idea of thirsty trees dipping their heads in the water for a drink. Especially after the long drought we have just gone through.

Change can sometimes be disorienting too, as if the world’s upside down. I like persona’s taking it all in stride and not just adjusting but thriving!
What an amazing image. Love your poem too.
