Day 155 of the 365 day poem challenge.
Word of the day bole meaning: "the trunk of a tree."
Omission
They fell in waves onto the snow
The leaves fell in waves onto the snow
Their bodies were brown
The orange red shades of Autumn had left the leaves
The limbs were bare and barbed and broken looking
The tree limbs had brackish flaking bark
The torso was perfect for cutting deep and sure with a sharp axe
It was felling season and the weakened bole of the tree gave way under the sway of the axe
New life born in the Spring
The sapling shoots up at the close of the felling season.
