I'm A Tree Grounded On The Floor


Growing naked by the end of Fall,
I’m a tree grounded on the floor,
Fancy thoughts spring
with autumn rain on my chin,
I dream of flying
while birds have gone hiding,
I sneeze
when snowflakes descend beneath,
My body shakes
If someone scratch my legs with rakes,
I’m slowly aging
and my confidence is fading,
Just as I’m about to quit,
A girl with blue hair starts to change my fate,
She doesn’t mind that I’m bare,
I cannot talk, but she does not care.
She hops on me,
and starts to do things to make me happy.
I feel handsome
with my blue angel in my arm,
She reads to me day and night,
In her words I travel worldwide,
My eyes begin to glow
as passions in between grow,
I have become a magical tree
Even since she has come to stay.

  2. The lament of a soul deprived of choice can be most disheartening. You have brought it out very well with a tree subject to vagaries of the weather!

  9. I like this poem especially the last two lines. Truly, when someone appreciates us even if we think we have nothing more to offer, to say we're happy is an understatement.

    A well done narrative poem :)
