Branches of Happiness
I face the world alone,
Besides the birds on my branches.
I cannot go far, though the wind will rock me,
And the sun hurts my eyes.
Though my existence seems hard,
You must know,
Being a tree is not so bad.
I get to watch people walking below,
Almost as happy as I am.
Though I am confined to my space in the ground,
I can still have dreams,
And watch humans live them for me.
This poem was inspired by "Dragon Tree" by Douglas Florian. Florian's poem inspired me to write a poem that included personification, and about a tree. However, the idea to write a free-verse poem was my own.
