Perspective Poem by Robert Smith

Perspective

Rating: 4.5


a tree in my garden
i've loved all my life
i sun it by day
and i water at night

so one day i asked
and asked so polite
excuse me but why
do you lean to the right?

on my trunk said the tree
you may see a small cleft
but you're on the wrong side
and i lean to the left

and also quite straight
at o'clock three or nine
so when you look correctly
i'm perfectly fine.

Hugging a tree, great metaphor.
