Challenge
Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder
Write a poem or prose about something beautiful that's underappreciated.
Bare trees
They are mostly gray
sometimes speckled with disease
their bodies are knotted with age
yet support myriad arms, fingers
an intricate web of lace
wooden tendrils curling
in exquisite geometric patterns
reaching towards the sky
often made more beautiful
by snow or ice -
nature’s art
if only
you
look.

Great one @dctezcan. I've always liked the look of bare trees, especially when covered in snow. :)
