The Poet Tree

Seeds afloat seeking unfamiliar ground

A mother’s warmth to be found

Love is rained from parental cloud

Bed is rich beneath the shroud

*

Father’s push from dark to light

Growth by day and shadows of night

Journeys upward to infinite skies

A world anew to saplings eyes

*

Soaring towards the sun-gods call

Arms outstretched embracing all

Colors change, soon to flee

Naked spires looming free

*

Twigs share times weighty strife.

A forest of one can have no life

Seasoned words of maturity

Nature’s view atop the poet tree

I'm speechless! What incredible work, keep writing!

[Ezekiel Silver]

Excellent work! I love the rhyming, imagery, and especially the word play in this piece! It was a bit hard to see the connection between the title and the poem itself at first, however that doesn't last long.

[The Veiled Writer]

What a beautiful, enriching piece! It was wonderfully written and provided unique imagery and a rather intriguing perspective. You've certainly got a way with words, and it is a pleasure to have the opportunity to find such a lovely poem!
