One Year A Tree Day Poem by Stevie Taite

One Year A Tree Day

Rating: 4.7


Oh gently giants
How are you so old?
Calendar after calendar
Shaped from your sacrifice
Crowned producer so cleverly a meal maker
Sun fed in joyous morn, your hazy green unfolds a shady relief
Making most of your day, you silently forge another ring
By evening your clothes are wondrously worn from visible labours
Nay with your resourceful reasoning you shall stitch and recycle whilst rewarding your tiny helper
And in your night, naked and fasting, sipping your mineral (homemade) tipple and
contemplating your next great day......
Our year a tree day
Bare, bud, green, gold
This is how you are so old!

Making most of your day, you silently forge another ring  Man oh man you are good! If you read this in someone elses poem you would freak out at how good it is. Start freaking out about how good you are. Sooooooooo good! x
