Challenge: Poetic Forms card, B7, Haiku
Author: Azalais
Title: Coire (The Stirring)
Characters: The White Tree of Gondor
Format: poetry
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Summary: C'mon, it's a haiku.... And the notes are longer than the piece. Sorry about that.

Coirë (The Stirring)

The Tree is withered.

But see! A sapling blossoms.

Hope is come again.

~~~

Technically, when Aragorn and Gandalf find the sapling of the White Tree on the mountain-slopes above Minas Tirith it's Lairë (Summer),  [thanks, blslarner, for the correction!],  not Coirë (Stirring). Call it poetic license...

Very nice!

It's hardly terribly original: but it's got the right number of syllables, the nature reference, and the contrast of two images separated by punctuation - not that I was writing-by-Wikipedia-derived-numbers or anything... ;-)
