Wind – breaking branches,
stripping the trees bare. While their
roots hold on beneath.
Almost: a six-foot
branch blown free and falling to
earth, standing upright.

great imagery! can't wait to see the photograph...i know your haiku was a reality in the DC area these past several days....
You've given us a great image of the power of wind - unseen itself, but it certainly makes its effects known!
Well done:)
Both the wind and the roots are unseen - so this haiku is packed with unseen things. We had very strong winds here yesterday too, I saw the evidence on my walk today, having to navigate around fallen trees
