Just a little poem I wrote in early March. ------ I planted a tree today. Spring flowers blossom with just one can. Thick and billowing branches cast a shadow in the falling sun. The tree I've planted- thick and strong. Thorns fall from the tree. Silky green of spring fails to winter's dull brown. Buds jump to lick a dry air. The tree I've planted- famished of love. Barren twigs fall from the tree. Past leaves blanket death. A poor man's brown. The tree I've planted- dead and gone.

Your poem makes me think of the emotions conveyed through the song, "Bleeding Me" By Metallica.
