Here's another offering to Poet's Corner from a Treorchy lady.

"Proudly They Stood"

The day I’ve dreaded has come to pass

The trees are gone, now only grass.

Proudly they stood majestic and tall

Each one magnificent in Spring, Summer and Fall.

In springtime, alive and full of birdsong

In summer, leaves full and protective of all

In autumn, golden leaves flutter and fall

A sight to behold, a treat for all.

In winter, their outline, black against the grey sky

Throw shapes to see, pleasing the eye.

But now, no more, nothing to see

No more proud majesty.

All that’s left as I look through my tears

Are piles and piles of forgotten dead trees.
