I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

took me a minute to actually see it was a glove.
love your take Sadje.. great last line
“The rest of you would have to imagine yourself
Being as warmly clad as that skinny branch of yours”
Great poem. Since you are finding lost things, I’m missing three slippers from three separate pairs: two right one and a left. If you find any, please let me know.
Perhaps the tree must have responded to your generosity like this – “Oh, wow, thank you, Sadje, so much for sparing a glove for me. Because clearly, that’s all I need to survive the freezing temperatures and snowstorms that come my way. Who needs roots, water, and sunlight when you have a good ol’ glove, am I right? And don’t even get me started on communication – I mean, who needs leaves, branches, and roots to exchange vital nutrients and gases when you have a human to talk to? Keep up the good work of respecting the natural world by leaving a glove on my branches – I’m sure it’s making a real difference in the fight against deforestation and climate change.”
😁🙏
Maybe Sadje, there’s possibly a lot more people than we thought, that only have one cold hand and therefore only need one glove. Hence the spare gloves being discarded.
Cute. Reminds me of the organizations that put out scarves, mittens and hats for those who don’t have any…usually in the city. I’ve donated some to that as well as to the ‘Giving Tree’ during the holidays at the Library.
I have a bunch of socks with holes… I was thinking of cutting off the heels and sewing (by machine) the rectangles that are left to make shelter ‘towels’. We’ll see…. Maybe after the tree is cleaned up.
Keep it alive

Marvelous whimsical and oh so deep. Sometimes imagined warmth clothes just as well. Wonderful, take Sadje on a difficult prompt.

Imagination can be a powerful tool, but somehow I don’t think that glove will be enough for the tree.

Haha! It might have said all that or perhaps it would have thought why did humans leave a glove on my skinny branch ?

So many lost gloves, just the one, lonely and cold, wanting to have the hand to hold again.
