About This Poem

Purposes of the Tree

In a forest, a tree sits by itself and is quite gnarly Bright light shines inside the grove, and on the tree with crooked branches The purpose of the tree is misplaced, but the power is true

    Russell this is a fabulous Sijo. Trees are so interesting to write, photograph and draw. Each one has their own characteristic form. Turning and twisting limbs. Good luck in the contest. It sounds like a win. You may like to read "Tales Trees Tells" poem. Warm Smiles, Connie
