The Magic of the Oak -Part 1- Collaboration With Chris Green

The Magic Of The Oak (Part 1 of 4) A Green and White Production The tree near my wall has a door, very small When I'm flat on my tummy I see A handgrip in brown A mailbox with crown But the whole is too tiny for me A window frame blue That they can look through When checking for rain from the sky With a curtain of red A sill for fresh bread And sometimes a raspberry pie A kettle all black Small plates on a rack All painted with herbs in bright green Five bowls with a spoon That know, very soon Some soup will be served made of beans The tree tends to smile When after a while An elf peeks his head out the door A plump little fellow His hat colored yellow The brown one he already wore His voice roars: "There's food!" And all in good mood Four lean elfs come tumbling in They're all dressed in tights Impeccably white With small beards adorning their chins (to be continued.....) *** July 11, 2017 Copyright © Chris Green and Darren White

Oh, this is fun, and full of color too. The rhyme scheme is unusual but is very smooth. Nice job. Can't wait for the rest! - Dean

Hah! You noticed the color, Dean :) Yeah the rhyme scheme is unusual, and quite hard to maintain throughout the poem, but we managed. It's a treat to work with Chris, very easy.

The form (aabccb) is a Spanish Sestet, but the line length is not. But who cares, it sings and we love it :)
