The Elm trees by the river <br /> Are a lot like Gothic Arches <br /> I saw in France with Lillian <br /> Except each limo is different <br /> And the arches form feather top <br /> Against the grey clouds lowered <br /> Over Wyto itlock <br /> Before the Mosquitoes come. <br /> Of course the leaves haven't had a chance <br /> To sprout and demonstrate their colors. <br /> The Elms won't last though, <br /> In contrast to the Arches; <br /> Because the Dutch Disease has killed them. <br /> So they hang there by their hair <br /> Waiting for the End or for the <br /> State of Maine to cut them down.<br /><br />Kenneth A.
