Midweek Review
Tree-fall Posers
By Lynn Ockersz
The once lush-Green Mara tree,
Which rose sprightly to the skies,
And held out the warm promise,
Of sheltering the isle’s denizens,
From the vagaries of climate change,
Has crashed with devastating effect,
In a spine-tingling roadside tragedy,
But it’s plain to the scrutinizing eye,
That creeping corruption and disease,
Have drained the potential giant,
Of its life-giving sap and vitality.
