The Poet Tree





The Poet Tree



Youthful seeds transplanted within a poet’s soul,
Watered by imagination, the tree begins to grow.
Tiny sprouts are nurtured by hope and inspiration,
Stretching to lofty heights to attain their destination.

The roots of the Poet Tree entrench within the mind,
Meandering its hallowed halls--fertile ground to find,
The branches of the Poet Tree diverge and intersect,
Encouraging inspiration -- to capture and collect.

Many leaves of talent shine with style and grace,
The solid trunk holds each impression firmly into place,
Lovely blossoms hang from the tree’s strong boughs,
Luscious tempting fruit--for your pleasure is exposed.

Dazzling diamonds shimmer through the foliage green,
Multi-faceted glimmering ideas...having yet to be seen,
A collage of fresh ideas, beneath a sky of azure blue,
Each sparkling brilliantly with their individual hue.

Take some time--and rest awhile beneath The Poet Tree,
Works of art are nurtured for all the world to see.
Where a stem of inspiration awaits plucking for one's mind,
Relax beneath the Poet Tree and leave your cares behind.
