The Tree

Deep in the forest where the green grass grows,

there

is

a

tree.

The tree is tall

and the grass is small

and

there

is

the

tree.

Anything that you could think, like data links, or hockey rinks.

The

tree

knows

all.

Made of its boughs is a very small house.

There

in

the

tree.

There lives an old hermit and his little pet mouse.

There

in

their

house.

 

So if you were to venture one day into that same forest,

and you saw with glee this tree,

that one who knows all,

whose limbs make a house,

that happens to be inhabited

by a hermit and a mouse,

Well, I’ll say “yippee!”

‘Cause that tree is ME.

I loved it!!!! I personally don't read a lot of poetry, but this is great! Can we get another poem about a treehouse?

Great job, it's very creative how you organized the poem, and how the animals live in a tree.  Your poem is awesome and inspired me to send a poem into youngzine(;

Wow, this is very creative and very rhyming. It is truly a lovely poem that seems to be about self confidence and I just love this poem. I used to write poems but I don't think they were good but know I believe that I can make them better than before. Thank you for your support
