The Tree | Poem

 
 

THE TREE


 
The sun shines brightly
In the Autumn sky
The clouds are fluffy
The air is warm
The flowers are colorful
In the beautiful meadow
It looks like an island
In a sea of flowers
The tree is an oak
Beautiful and old
It's towering branches
And millions of leaves
The shade is nice
For a midday picnic
Among the flowers
Little animals play
But in that tree
A new world begins
Where the old one
Left off.
