The Tree

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.
