In Poland, there are mysterious trees,
a small forest of about four hundred.
These trees have a sinister, crooked base.
*
Scientists are still puzzled about this,
since they can’t determine how this happened.
These trees possess an eerie aesthetic,
a weird, enchanted, slithering aspect.
*
The trees all remain healthy specimens.
Perhaps they experienced a wounding
from a mild volcanic overflow?
Maybe an unidentified virus?
Might persistent snowfall have produced this?
*
We live in a diverse world of wonder
where enigmas challenge our intellect….
