plant a tree

plant a tree

one special just for me

one that has a word on every leaf!

even without my wandering muse

I’ll still have words to choose

and to use

♠

happily

I’ll sit beneath my tree

with its’ inspiring canopy

branches full of adjectives, verbs, a crown of nouns!

just make sure that it is evergreen

and we will always have

poetry
