Didn't give up / Zombie Tree

I have used this "Zombie tree" so very much in my blogs almost since I started blogging in 2005. So I hope you'll forgive my using it again. Very often I pick up a new reader to the tree. Zombie tree found roadside out from Conroe, Texas.  Natural decoration. 

. . . 

The Zombie tree that wouldn't give up 

I passed it nary blink of my eye 

Part of the scenery nature's pet 

A nuisance pulling on the fence line 

Rabbits safe raising their little ones 

It's been fixed years and years standing tall 

Farmers  spreading poison in the ground 

And spraying nasty stuff on its arms 

I moved away no more Zombie thoughts 

Years later the graying bows still stood 

Seemed to smirk, saying haw haw to me

Mary asked,  "This week, please write  about letting go—  It might be either a single dramatic act or it might be a series of small releases, a break finally made."
