    As lethal as the wooden blade knife looks, the appendage is helpless in stopping the winter blanket from falling. As a look of defiance, however, it is strong. I’ll keep my distance, thank you!

    MMT, a wayward tree stump can look so formidable and menacing! Beautiful pic!

    Great! Love the picture & words – the dagger is melting the snow quick! If we put a dagger stick in our yards – will it ward off the snow that will come this winter 🙂 bet you’d sell lots of them!
    Have a great weekend MMT!

    Ah, nature ‘s beauty is always a perfect photo subject. But I ca n’t say I’ve ever seen a “dagger tree.”

    😉

    Great Haiku as always, MMT.

    There is a bitter viciousness in the persona’s voice that demands attention! Powerful haiku and love the perspective of the tree!

    I surely would not want to fall on this sharp looking split stump…but then if I did I would look up at that beautiful sky til someone came to pull me off. Great shot. Love the snow. genie

    Great picture with such contrast. The blue sky, the snow, the sun, and the rugged hillside in the background. Awesome!
