RDP Thursday – BRISTLE

Photographer Unknown
There are three trees on our property line
twisted and scarred by harsh winds and time
they fought to take root in the poorest of soil
under the cruelest of conditions they managed to grow
where nothing else does
out back
together
but standing alone
on a patch of uncared for land, you could call it our home.

Thanks for contributing the poem and the link, Anita. Very interesting.
