Photo of a giant tree trunk, its branches cut off.

“Branches” seems surplus;
limbs of giant ancient trees,
cutting “arms” sounds bad.

Twisty

Photo of a row of large leafless trees extending across a walking path in a park.

Waving twisty limbs
in my park, casting magic—
deciduous trees.

Soak

Photo of a tall gum tree, the golden colour of the sunset on it.

basking in the winter glow
