Song of the Palm Tree

Song of The Palm Tree The palm tree at the beach Blossoms by enjoying the water Supplied by the sea Its wing - like fronds dances To the rhythm of music Played by the breeze While it hopes to reach the sky

First of all a warm welcome to poetry soup. I love the way your poem romances with nature. I do want to help you with one of the statements you make in your poem about seawater. Most palm trees grow in rainforests, but you see palms closer to the ocean more than other trees because they are very saltwater resistant, but they rely on freshwater to live--saltwater will kill them (there are several recent articles about Palm Trees in Florida starting to die because of rising sea levels).

Contd. I feel we are here to help each other. If I could have soupmailed you I would have. That is a much more private way of helping someone. Blessings in your future endeavors. I can tell that you have much talent. Aloha, Connie
