Poem by Kitina

The wonders of trees

Trees are wonderful, trees are great

They don’t complain about the vine that drape.

Trees are quiet, they don’t say

That the day is ever bleak and gray.

They never say it’s just a great bore

To stand outside when the rain just pour

Trees just whisper with their leaves,

When they rustle in the wind of the evening breeze.

Trees give fruits that they will yield

And trees we grow in our own field

Trees have flowers, which will bloom

And fill with joy to the people who gloom

Trees have leaves that are green

And on the branches they hang and lean

And when the leaves become old and brown,

After some time they fall on the ground

Trees have roots that go right down

And into the soil of the ground

Trees have branches that will sway

An which it lets the children play

Trees are tall that they touch he sky,

And around the trees go the butterflies

Trees have many little seeds

That look like they are tiny beads

And when those little seeds are planted,

My wish will soon be granted

For my wish for everyone to plant many trees

So that our planet will soon be green!
