A Lone Tree Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

A Lone Tree

Rating: 4.8


A lone old oak tree
On the bank of the rice field
Stood the test of time
A witness to farmer's life
A link to an earlier time.

Sometimes it is nice to leave what you mean all unspelt. And this one leaves the reader with myriads of interpretations. He too takes an imaginative trip forward. A lovely laconic expression.

Enchanting poem with powerful metaphors and well laid down, to remind us that thanks to this hard-working farmer, our daily bread is well distributed on our dining table, and not only in our generation but generations before us. The most excellent thought and fitting, thanks to the oak as the chosen metaphor, because the oak can be thousands of years old and can withstand all kinds of disadvantageous species.
