This is the same beech tree as in the previous post. It was very windy and I was almost blown over twice. (i'm only short)
Winter Winds
Cruel winter winds blow hard and strong.
Cutting and flaying this mighty beech.
They spare no strength as they pass all through.
From branches and twigs to the buds they reach.
This old tree stands firm as the winds berate.
And curse and whistle and roar.
No bird can rest within it's care.
But care, it not, as this old tree has known all before.
