Trusting Wood

Relationships should be like the pine: strong and able to resist storm damage.

Pine might proudly stand
But for erroneous truths
What then of his lies?

    The title just drew me in, my first reading of the day. Excellent senryu, Tony(or is it haiku?). Perfect form and flow. Very nice work. :)

    Oh to be compared to a tree is magnificent suggestion for many reasons. You simply allow that corolation in this poem.
