The Giant Sequoia

Postby Ratliff » Tue Oct 27, 2015 5:50 pm

The giant Sequoia

The arm of a hidden giant
Thrust out of the heavens
Like a ancient Roman Titan
Reaching down from the sky,
Through the green clouds
Almost blotting out the sun
Fingers thrust in the ground
Like colossal gnarled roots

I have to admit Rick that i didn't know what a Sequoia was until i looked it up.

Some great metaphors you have penned for this wonderful tree..thank you

A tree to remember once seen and a great reminder here Rick of its magnificence.

Very nice. I love trees, but I have never seen a sequoia. I would love to some day.

A nice tribute to the majestic trees of northern California.
